What is the DOS command to interrupt the display to create a page-break..

For example, if I input 'TREE' at the command prompt, I get the entire tree
for the c: harddrive.

How can I either create page breaks on the way down or how can I scroll up
to view all the data?

Thanks,

Type "TREE |more" (example).

Proceed with the [Space] or [Enter] key.

Why does c:\Documents and Settings\user\TREE work?

while c:\TREE does NOT work?

Or, how can I view my tree within my entire harddrive?

"|" is "pipe", that is, Shift + \ keys.

Try putting the root of the tree you want to list after the command (as
in "tree c:\"). Don't forget the space to separate the command from the
folder.

If the tree.com file isn't in your system path try
"%SystemDirectory%tree c:\". But normally it's in the system path.

Let us know if the system directory has somehow been deleted from the
system path.

Because the file "TREE.COM" is located within the default search path.

Because "TREE.COM" is located in the %windir%\System32 folder rather than
the C:\ root directory.

Addendum to be more specific: C:\Documents and Settings\user\TREE
doesn't really work. What you're trying to say is that calling "TREE.COM"
from the "C:\Documents and Settings\user" prompt works and that's because
that file is located in the default search path %windir%\System32.

Tree /?

will show the input parameters


so

Tree C:\ /A | more OR

TREE C:\ /A > C:\listing.txt


will get you a text file of the whole shebang
