WOW - just discovered edlin exists on my win2k and XP Pro boxes - never
even thought to look for it!  And to think, I've been using 'copy con'
all this time..:-)

Actually, edlin had (and still does as far as I know, but you're right, 
you don't want to use it if you can avoid it...) one brilliant 
redeeming feature -- you could script it via command redirection.  I 
used that once, ages ago in some cunning (probably self-modifying, but 
can't be sure now) batch file...
