how print dir list AND print to file?

[sam musil]

hi
KB article Q321379 shows me a great way to print the
directory listing, but it only goes straight to the
printer. to make a useful table of contents for files saved
on CD, i need to edit the notepad document, get rid of the
unnecessary details, combine folder contenst on one page,
things like that. so i would like to modify the little bat
file they give you to also allow a "print to file" or "save
directory list" command.
can someone help me with that? i guess that might be useful
to lots of others too.
thanks so much.

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change
to the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir >
lpt1," just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR
command (type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to
modify the output.
