I've just tried it and it looks well worth the bucks. I still think it odd that the distribution of Perl for Windows doesn't mention this problem when using the standard M$ command window. -- james crease http://wocediu.org Tel. +1 302 645 4240 http://www.codata.orgTel. +44 1608 642335

Thanks to all for suggestions. Comments- I suspect Chas above has the likely solution. The version of DOS I have on win98SE doesn't allow for a scroll bar as suggested by one comment nor does it have a layout tab to set the size of the window although it does allow a set to a maximum of 50 lines.

compilation errors in win98
I have a perl script which generates many compilation errors which scroll off the DOS window perl is running in. How do I capture (or recover) the lines that have scrolled away? -- james crease
