Ooooo... Sound's just like what I was looking around for the other night! If it's under a couple megs, send it along. Or send a URL if you have one for it (though it may only exist in a SimTel archive somewhere). I've lost all my old batch file memory. I know there are commands that can prompt for input. So something as simple as inputting a name for a new folder to be created would be easy to create and useful to use. I could also input the source and destination drive/folders so I could use the same batch file to write files from the HDD to CF, or from one CF folder to another for creating 'playlists' from files already on this 340MB microdrive (Hmmm... when will 5-10GB microdives appear and drop the price for a 1GB drive below $100?) Many things I could play with. Thanks Mike.
