Comment: I don't know a whole lot about computers, so maybe you can
help me with this. When I type dir to view possable
commands all i can see is the last ones listed, is there a way
to "scroll up" to see what other commands i can type in?

Reply: (edit)In the command window you can pipe the output to more [dir /? | more] or redirect the output to a file so you can view it in an editor or print it.

Reply: (edit)Technically a "Windows question" - if you open a DOS window, and have the number of lines set to 50, you can use the scroll bars. "When I type dir to view possable commands" Ok - that's not really what it does, it lists directory contents (files & 'folders') "to see what other commands i can type in?" ditto If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers

Reply: (edit)We're glad to help, but it is generally preferred that you post questions in the most appropriate forum - which in your case would be WinME. fwiw - there's a forum description at the top of this page, explaining (somewhat) that Windows questions are likely best posted elsewhere, as usually their solution lies within windows. That was the case here If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers

Reply: (edit)I remember seeing that message before - of course in most cases we do have more than one word (heh) - but I didn't have a problem in another recent one word reply If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers

Reply: (edit)Maybe there's a minimum length then (I'd put just 'Calmira' in another post). Otherwise, sure, HTML code 'counts' Another one of Justin's failsafes If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers

Reply: (edit)Yes - a well kept secret (that we keep revealing) The first versions I'd used weren't anywhere near that informative If you get people asking the wrong questions, you don't have to worry about the answers
