P.A.L Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) the answer goes back to old DOS , "con" is a reserve name for controlling keybord and monitor there used to be a command like >/ mode con ....i guess XP looks at "con" as a port name like "LPT1" Edited September 30, 2006 by P.A.L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorbasan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 yeh,also the copy con filename.textit stands for console, so basically in dos when you use the copy con command it will copy what ever is type in to the console (dos box) in to the file name specified.i think the f6 button stopped the imput Now you use head for something other than target.

scottnshelly Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Fascinating.In Microsoft Excel, you cannot name a sheet 'History'. There is already a sheet named that, but it's invisible to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
