Re: Off Topic - Question for ye olde computer geeks
I know with DOS, when you listed a dir it would show them all real quick 'till it got to the bottom of the list. Then what you were left with was the Last several of the list which would fit according to how many rows your monitor was set up to view. I know there was also a key command in the dir request -have since forgotten it- to keep it so you could look at the dir a page at a time.

Re: Off Topic - Question for ye olde computer geeks
Dir /p lists the files one page at a time. The /w switch lists several files in one row (the 'wide' option).
Besides, who cares about Scroll Lock? I just use it for the Print Screen function....

Re: Off Topic - Question for ye olde computer geeks
dir /o:gne will list the directories before the files, with each set in alphabetical order.

Re: Off Topic - Question for ye olde computer geeks
The pause and printscreen buttons are right beside the scroll lock button. They aren't the same button.
Some current uses for the button:

I'll also have to try writing a program that toggles the scroll lock light, in order to blink out subliminal Messages in binary.
