Try the following from your DOS box too ...

tree /f > treelist.txt

I've found that the tree listing stops when it reaches the bottom of 
the first subdirectory structure. If you find it works fine on your machine
let me know as I can see no reason for this to fail ( It works fine under 
Proper DOS but not in a DOS box! ).
This is on a Viglen Genie PCI 4DX266 running DOS 6.2,WFWG 3.11 and 
Novell 4.01.

Cheers!
