Then you can add the @ after testing.              I tried "CD \mydir >con" but it didn't (as the CD command output is already       suppressed).                                   --       Bah, and indeed Humbug.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
