Oh there are quite an extensive list of commands to learn. Do a search for DOS commands and I'm sure you will find enough to satisfy your curiosity.

If you could be more specific I might be able to help you further from memory. Tell me what you wish to do and I can tell you if it is possible to the best of my ability which here lately is failing fast so hurry.

Angelo -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrin Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 7:22 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] combining multiple text files I forget who first asked about combining multiple text files, no matter there are several methods to accomplish this task. The first and probably the easiest would simply be to use notepad. Just paste the contents of each file in to the same blank document and give it a new name. The second that comes to mind is employing a method known as concatenating multiple files. This is a command line argument from the old DOS days that still works in windows 7. Place your files in a location by themselves first of all. Then navigate to the command prompt by typing CMD in to the run dialog. Change your prompt to the location where your files are located for example the root directory of your data drive by typing this command "D:" and hitting enter. Then at that point typing "CD\" then hitting enter and typing at that point the following command: copy *.txt filename.txt That will place all of your files in alphabetic order in to a single text file. Remember to always hit enter after every command. My guess is you'll probably select the first method but I thought I would give you a couple of alternatives.
