Dear Mr Achari,
Thank you for your response to my inquiry.
The first option that you suggested does not work for me.
Here is why:
After I typed "cmd" <----(without the " marks) I got a black box on the screen.
I typed "CD\" and the response was "C:\"
I then typed "dir /s >output.txt" and nothing happened
I then tried it all over again and got the same result.
The second option you suggested works kind of; by that I mean
I was able to print part, I repeat part, of the directory listed.
Why did only one part print?
I then got the idea to "select all" from the edit menu; that only
resulted in selecting all the files that were in the particular folder where the cursor was at the time.
E.G.: The directory display has roughly 98 folders [give or take a few -- lol]
and only what was on the screen printed. Did I have to scoll down and
repeat the procedure starting at where the print out ended?
The other problem with this print out is that it printed in two pages instead of the one page that the particular folder. I then figured out that maybe the margins on the printer were not adjusted properly. So I tried adjusting the margins and it still did
not print properly. Well, at that point I got frustrated and called it quits.
I am not a computer whiz kid. [Just crossed 68th year line.]
Once again, THANK YOU for trying to help me with this technical difficulty.
God Bless,
Jack T.

Achari forgot to mention that when you use method 1 the output is in the text file c:\output.txt
Open that file with wordpad and you will have all your information. It may be too big for notepad.

The command used is all right. If you get the empty Prompt
afterwards, the job completed ok. Just locate the output.txt
file generated (usually in C:\), open in wordpad and print
the file.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??

Hi,
Sorry about that. As others have pointed out, you would have to open the
file "output.txt" in Wordpad and print the contents.
Thanks a lot friends.
Hope this helps ...... :)
