   | I'm using 4DOS. Using the command   
   |   
   | for %a in (acc*) do type %a >> logneu.txt   
   |   
   | it is obvious they're executed in their natural order. If those   
   | files were copied before I often hit the Windows idiosyncracy, that   
   | the first in alphabetical order comes last, requiring manual   
   | correction. Is there a way to make For use a predifined oder like   
   | aphabetical or age?   
      
   Sorry, not in 4DOS; not even in TCC/LE. The /O (order) option was added in   
   TCC version 11.   
      
   You can use the DIR command to create an ordered list of the files to be   
   processed in a temporary file (or in the clipboard), and retrieve them   
   (WARNING! NOT TESTED!):   
      
   dir /b /o:d acc* > clip:   
   ( for %a in (@clip:) type %a ) > logneu.txt   
      
   Note that instead of redirecting each TYPE command individually the output   
   of the whole FOR loop is redirected. This is not essential, it is just a   
   techniqued you may not be aware of.
