DOS command
What is the DOS command to interrupt the display to create a page-break..
For example, if I input 'TREE' at the command prompt, I get the entire tree for the c: harddrive. How can I either create page breaks on the way down or how can I scroll up to view all the data? Thanks, FLKulchar |

Try putting the root of the tree you want to list after the command (as in "tree c:\"). Don't forget the space to separate the command from the folder. If the tree.com file isn't in your system path try "%SystemDirectory%tree c:\". But normally it's in the system path. Let us know if the system directory has somehow been deleted from the system path. Or, how can I view my tree within my entire harddrive? "Detlev Dreyer" wrote in message ... "F.

Addendum to be more specific: C:\Documents and Settings\user\TREE doesn't really work. What you're trying to say is that calling "TREE.COM" from the "C:\Documents and Settings\user" prompt works and that's because that file is located in the default search path %windir%\System32. -- d-d |
