Fellas, tnx; I didn't realize dircmd had been set that way; indeed, the
behaviour occurs in a directory with enough entries to cause paging.
Also, the space or lack of it in the 'dir' does not affect it
at all. However there is still a bit of a mystery:
even with the 'P' enabled, booting from option 3, allows it to *not*
page and run to completion; an additional nuance is that under option 3,
the 'copy' in the bat echos to the screen 1 file copied;
however when booting under options 1 or 2, this does not occur, and the
'P' switch is effective. I even checked that 'dircmd' did not change
with boot option 3. Richardwb2...@gmail.com mailto:wb2...@gmail.com.
I don't know your script, but redirecting output to NUL device usually
works: COPY X.TXT Y.TXT NUL
Another option:
CTTY NUL
COPY X.TXT Y.TXT
CTTY CON
However you wouldn't like singlestepping batchfiles in that case as CTTY
NUL redirects both input and output, thus keyboard input isn't accepted
for the moment, right until restored by CTTY CON
