What makes you think there's any DOS "shell" involved? Many DOS programs didn't write to stdout, but drew directly into screen memory with BIOS calls and such. Are you sure this is a more generic command line program that just writes to "stdout" or the console? -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
