Hi Dennis, It's not a class act is it! The C with the bar is a character mapping error - should be a "\". So this is just the DOS prompt, not a command you have to enter. The example assumes that you've downloaded a program called xferlg and stored it in C:\temp It also assumes that a file called q1iglx32 exists in the same directory. Where you get these files is unclear to me, but I have looked around their site to try to find them. The best way to do this is probably to build yourself a DOS boot diskette, and copy the downloaded stuff to it. Your procedure would then look like: A:\> Xferlg q1iglx32 [enter] I presume the CDR-8322B that follows is a response to a prompt issued by xferlg. If you are using W2K, then it's likely that you have NTFS which DOS can't read. Hence the suggestion to do all this using a boot floppy.
