command prompt window problem

[Nomi_]

Hi
I run a program in command prompt
this program continously display its output
but if i click on command prompt window
the command windows halts/pause
if i press enter everything comes back to normal
after it flushes all the output that it had buffered while in pause
mode
i am using windows 2k professional


any idea about that

Hiii you can save the output to a file using ">"
example dir>files.txt will save the dir output in files.

Hope this helps...,

That's because it enters the 'QuickEdit Mode' when you click
in the windows.

Click the system menu of the command window -> Properties.
Uncheck 'QuickEdit Mode'.
