=================================
<%
Dim wshell, intReturn
set wshell = server.createobject("wscript.shell")
intReturn = wshell.run("%comspec% /k cd\ & dir *.*", 1, False)
Response.Write( intReturn )
set wshell = nothing

Hi Joel,
A few ideas:
(1) Try moving the Response.Write inside the body tag.
<p>
<% Response.Write(junk) %>
</p>
(2) I've never tried it that way ... do you have to set up an
object first? (Kinda like writing the 'dir' command to a record
set ... and then looping through the rs?)
(3) I'm guessing this is a test case and what you really want to do
is a lot trickier ... otherwise I'd suggest just grabbing the
filesystemobject and looping through the files.
HTH,
RonL.
