    (DOS) How do I create a list of files in a directory?

    How do I create a list of files in a directory? I have seen it done before but cannot remember the command(s). Basicly what I need to do is make a .txt list of all the filnames in a directory but I do not want to manualy list them all.
    Thx

    I received
    The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
    I forgot to mention that I am on a NT4 machine.
    Thanks

    Like I said.. I was embarassed to post that. Funny how if you don't use something it just gets wipped from memory cos I used to use DOS all the time before 3.1 came out.
    Thanks again,
