Oh, now I think I've figured out what you want to do. Is this it? :
------- begin DIRHIST.BAT -------
@echo off
REM Program Name: DIRHIST.BAT
REM Purpose: To write a history of directory listings to a file.
cls
dir > filelist.tmp
if not exist filehist.txt ren filelist.tmp filehist.txt
if not exist filelist.tmp goto END
copy filehist.txt + filelist.tmp tempfile.tmp
del filehist.txt
del filelist.tmp
ren tempfile.tmp filehist.txt
:END
echo History of directory listings has been written to the file FILEHIST.TXT
echo.
------ end DIRHIST.BAT -----------
Hope that helps....
