I'm not sure what you are asking........

Click Start
Click Run
Type mycommand > myfile <CR>

If that is what you are trying, I don't think it should work. the > is an output redirection from within DOS. Unless you type CMD you are not invoking the DOS command processor and you are therefore passing > myfile as a parameter to mycommand. I think what you are trying is equivalent to building a shortcut with mycommand > myfile as the target, which I don't think will work either.

Hope I have it right...........Rich
