There is a PD set of programs called 'pushdir' and 'popdir' that may be what you are after. They can be used in the following manner: pushdir cd \glarp glarp popdir to achieve what you are after and return you to the original directory after you complete. Send me some mail and I will get them to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kenneth W.

Is there any way to embed a Control-Z inside a batch file o that it will NOT cause the termination of the batch job? Specifically, I am trying to execute the following: egrep -v "^Z" file1.ext >file2.ext which works just fine if I type it in at the command line but fails from within a .BAT file. Please reply via email. Thanks in advance. Jeff David
