I am sure that one of the other writers can answer your first
question much better than I can:

s> Please help me for another clue. How can I use Dos command such
s> as "dir /a /b /-p /o:gen >filelisting.txt" within PP

So I'll just answer the last part:

s> It seems to me that PP is friendly at first sight but it turn
s> sourly due to lacking of practical samples to play with.
s> I am trying to download the sample scripts from the site
s> but cannot using the scripts. PP didn't accept .txt as
s> import as text. It uses .ini. I missed something.

There are three kinds of downloadable examples in the Files
section:

[1] whole configs (.pcf files) which you can run instead of
your current pproconf.pcf.

[2] importable command lists (.txt or .ini) which you import
into your current pproconf.pcf.

[3] scripts (.powerpro) which you place in your \powerpro\scripts\
folder and then run them.

The problem is that some of these files are very old and only
work with earlier versions of PowerPro.

There were many changes in version 4.1 -- especially with [2]
the importable command lists. Before 4.1 they were .txt files.
After 4.1 they have to be in a new .ini format.
PowerPro 4.1 onwards cannot import the old .txt files.

The changes with Scripts [3] are not so major (they are still
.powerpro files). Most old scripts will still work, but not all
of them. Anyway, very old scripts are not good examples because
they don't use the newer features. Scripts for PowerPro v 3.6
onwards are usually ok in PowerPro v 4.1

Old .pcf configs [1] can also be a problem. Some of them work in
the latest PowerPro, some don't.

So before downloading files, look at the date, and also whether
they mention which PowerPro version they work with.
