With Windows2000, there is a button on the menu bar with a drive letter (I guess it is the drive from which the cmd.exe was launched). Left click on it opens a menu. Choose Edit | Mark. Highlight the portion to export, then menu Edit | Copy or <Enter> (NOT <ctrl>+C).
Another way will be to write a MB program with the appropriate API calls and write the results to a comma-delimited file to be imported in a spreadsheet, or to a mi tab and export it in dbf. But that may be a lot of programming and any other language than MB will do it probably more efficiently.

This is not a very elaborate process, I'm sure there are some 'slicker' ways of getting it done . . . But Down and Dirty::: Open a DOS command prompt to the directory of your files you want properties for. (I use Tweak UI aka Windows Powertoys to accomplish this opening a DOS prompt via right click menu). On the menu bar of the dos window, look for the "Mark" button it's a dashed square box on the menu bar. Activate the "Mark" feature and you should be able to use your mouse to drag a selection of the directories/files you want to want. Once your desired items are selected either 'ctrl - c' or click Copy on the menu bar. You can now paste this information in your desired editor. Additionally, if you find yourself doing this very much, you may want to add the following DOS directory outline in your Autoexec.bat file: SET DIRCMD= /P /O:GN This will automatically pause larger directory lists per page, and cause your Directories to be listed first in a DOS window, the Directories and files will be listed alphabetically. I know this isn't pretty, but it is fairly quick, not to mention inexpensive :)) Hope this helps, __________________________ David W.
