ls > filename.txt This is probably not the appropriate mailing list for general Linux questions - there are many other lists and books that cover this. If you just want enough info to cover most command line operations - there is 'Unix for Dummies' that will get you a fast start on these topics. The 'shell' (usually bash) will do everything that DOS copied from Unix, plus much much more. If you want to learn more than is covered in the 'Dummies books' I would recommend looking at the O'Riely 'Learning the bash Shell' book. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Transtronics, Inc.
