Thanks to all for suggestions.
Comments- I suspect Chas above has the likely solution.
The version of DOS I have on win98SE doesn't allow for a scroll bar as
suggested by one comment nor does it have a layout tab to set the size
of the window although it does allow a set to a maximum of 50 lines.
If there are any other thoughts on stderr capture I'd be pleased to hear
them :-(
