Anyone recall or know how to page up or scroll up in the DOS window?
I need to see the stuff that spit out but I cannot scroll up!!!

Thanks

Is it like the Windows NT dos prompt? Do you need to set the number of lines in the layout properties before you see a scroll bar?
 
I'm talking rubbish - try mode 80,102
 
You could say its like any Windows DOS prompt.

I see a scroll bar but does not go far enough up.

According to this page you can redirect the output to a file just like you can in Windows, so if you put:
Code:
>> log.txt
at the end of whatever command you type, its output will be redirected to a file called log.txt for you to read later.

Sounds like not possible.
I must have been thinking of Cross-Talk or Xtree Gold that could scroll.

Thanks

Use the pipe more!

The pipe (|) redirects output to a buffer that stores it so you see one page at a time each time you press return:

type b:\letters\letter5.doc|more

or you can redirect output to a textfile using >

as in

type b:\letters\letter6.doc>let6.txt
