Thanks to both of you, very nice. You probably already know , but for those who don't you can also redirect stderr to a file with 2> . That way you may not need to copy the text from the window.

I love the Autorun...never seen that used in this context before.. I can ditch my little cmd file I set my prompt with.[1] Thanks! The other benefit I find, in addition to those you mentioned, is in logging and documenting things, especially when jumping around troubleshooting or doing things like schema extensions. I bump the buffer up to some huge value, even in some scripts leave everything echoed to the screen, edit, select all and you have a log for change management, permanent logs, notifications and/or future reference. [1] I use %computername%\%userdomain%\%username%$_$D$S$T$_$_$M$P$G right now but it's infinitely flexible and fun to play with. -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2008 1:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: batch route add For those who RTFM, or do some exploring on their own, it's probably better to: Select the cmd window ALT+CTRL+Space to drop down the options window, or click on the upper-left corner of the cmd box Select Properties Under the options tab mark at least Quick Edit Mode and Edit Mode - I also like to check Discard Old Duplicates the the Large cursor size Under layout, put 5000 (or more) in the Screen Buffer Size Height field - the others will depend on your preferences and screen resolution Then make the following registry changes (first line optional, but I like this prompt) which will give you tab completion, among other things: ----------Start Reg Entry file---------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor] "AutoRun"="prompt [%computername%]$S$T$S$D$S$P$S$M$G$+$_#" "CompletionChar"=dword:00000009 "DefaultColor"=dword:00000000 "EnableExtensions"=dword:00000001 "PathCompletionChar"=dword:00000009 ----------End Reg Entry File---------- you will have a command prompt that looks like this (note that the cursor follows the '#', and is two lines long): [KBUFF2003] 11:09:12.80 2007-07-23 C:\ } # Note that the date/time formats will vary depending on what your Regional settings are, as set in the Control Panel. I strongly suggest setting your time format to HH:mm:ss and your date format to YYYY-MM-DD. This will produce output and displays that sort better and are less ambiguous, and ultimately more readable, once you get used to them.
