You want better ways than "type" to view a text file on a PC? Ok... Install 4dos (a replacement for COMMAND.COM) Now type: list filename You can now page forwards and backwards thru the file or even search for occurences of a string. And if you switch to 43x80 or 50x80 or whatever, it cheerfully switches to accomodate. 4dos is a *great* program, and has good support. BTW it also lets you create aliases ala unix shells. -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.
