The following compound statement achieves what you wish; it is better suited for a batch script, but you can type it at the prompt For %a in (*.*) do @echo %~na Change your current folder to the one you want to list before typing and if you want to embed the command into a batch, replace % with %%. By the way that is NT NOT DOS and so it works under NT/2K/XP only.
