When I look at the contents of the file I redirected the output to all I see are short lines. Also, my own version of the program stops reading after 80 chars and calls it a line (so I can count 24 displayed lines and than wait for a keypress). Also, XPs MORE.COM allows you to advance a single line by pressing SPACE. The problem remains the same. But I realized something: I said "skipped", but did not describe *how* it was skipped (didn't think it was neccessary when I asked for a replacement). The funny thing is that sometimes it actually skips the lines with nothing on the screen indicating it hapopened, but sometimes it just scrolls the screen up (as if only a CRLF is printed), line-by-line. Also, the /C (clear screen before displaying output) didn't work when I tried it.
