   ***   In real DOS, this can be done by using a resort utility such as   
   Norton's DS.exe (Directory Sort). It physically reorders file namess in a   
   directory. Afterward, any listing, copying or other operation will then   
   happen in the type of order you select.   
      
      XSET, and possibly XXCOPY, could be used to do this operation, but I   
   can't take the time right now to think of the steps required.   
      
      I think the idea proposd by another poster of using DIR to send an   
   alphabetical list to a file and then using it as input to type each file   
   is likely the best for you.
