That's what a command shell is for. Since windows doesn't come with a real one, I'd recommend installing Cygwin and then using bash, make, etc. Better yet. Abandon windows and switch to an OS environment intended for software development rather than generating time-wasting power-point presentations. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Look!
