Yup. It's something else Microsoft "borrowed" from CP/M, who no doubt got it from another OS NUL = Null device CON = Console (keyboard/display) PRN = Printer All accept redirects. And the ability to redirect sterror (2>) works with, I believe, NT and above. Win9x/Me may still be too DOSsy for this. ---------------------- - Mike Scott - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
