'Print' to screen in Windows environment

Maybe you need && or another command delimiter

Subject: 'Print' to screen in Windows environment

I have a client running version 5.0.05DN9 on a Windows based PC.  I want to
'print' reports to the screen.  I've done it for years on Unix but never had
to do it in Windows.  I have the Unix commands cat & less installed on the
PC.  I tried the same commands I used in Unix:

|cat > c:\temp\view$$ & less c:\temp\view$$, but that failed.  

Since I'm not sure of the Windows equivalent of view$$ I tried:

|cat > c:\temp\view.txt & less c:\temp\view.txt, but that also failed.  I
received the following error:

 

Cannot Open Print Command

|cat > c:\temp\view.txt & less c:\temp\view.txt: No such file or 
|directory

 

C:\temp\view.txt does exist.  If I manually populate view.txt I can cat
view.txt and less view.txt without errors so I know those commands are
working.

 

In the menu I have -pq to allow selecting screen as a 'print' option.  I
don't want to select display, it doesn't display on the screen as nicely as
less.

 

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
