does anyone have any idea why I can't pipe from one command to another? The '|' thing just doesn't work. I'm running win98 on a compaq presario laptop

this is a common problem with w98
make sure you use the correct "|" it is the key next to the 1 in conjunction with the "Alt Gr" key (next to the space bar on the right)....... the shifted \ key next to the z looks the same on screen but does not work...
