   Can any one out there explain how to use the redirection and the pipeline
features with ms-dos? I have tried these damn things since I started using
computers, yet have allways been unsuccessful. I can redirect the output to a
destination, and I can somewhat pipe the output to another program(maybe). My
problem is going the other way. I have a hard disk utility that makes you enter
the drive number from the keyboard. I would like to redirect the drive numbers
from another file, so that I could run that unattended. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
   To sum it up, I am looking for an explaniation to use the redirect and pipe-
line functions in ms-dos.

   thanks in advance!
