    Comand prompt on Windows XP - Print to Screen

    The command to print a file to screen used to be 'print thefile.txt'. Now its printing the file to a printer. What is the new command?

    Try using More, eg: More thefile.txt
    (to find this, I typed Help )

    Alternatively, just type the file name to open it in the default application (Notepad).
