If you want to append an existing file, use two greater-than symbols, >>filename.txt. If you use just one ">", it will overwrite an existing file, so be careful here. Another trick is that if you want to use the text from an existing file to turn into Figlet text, use "<". So you'd have something that looks like this: FIGLET [options] OUTFILE.TXT I hope this helps. ___ ____ ____ ____ ____ ___ _ _ | \ | |__/ | | [__ |__] \_/ |__/ |___ | \ |__| ___] |__] | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- dcrosby@primenet.com
