MS-DOS: Displaying All Dos Messages

[RobinR]

I have Windows 98. Is it possible to page up to see all output messages (or am I dreaming).

Alternatively, is it possible to temporarily redirect the MS-DOS messages to a file.

After weeks of trying to figure out how to export a mySql Database to my web host's mySql Server (which is not an FTP server), I finally realized that I should be able to issue the export commands through the mysql\bin in MS-DOS.

I tried commands which gave me a considerable output. Here's the end of the output. I would like to see the beginning of this output to determine if I was actually successful but can't figure out how to do that. (The asterisks are mine)

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Robin

Found a post on www.orafaq.com that addressed the issue of scrolling in DOS. It discussed a free utility recommended by PC Magazine.

Utility: Peruse
Zip file: v13n07.zip

Sites to download from:
http://www.filelibrary.com/Contents/DOS/53/14.html
http://riverebbs.net/files/output/314.html

Instructions:
Unzip the PERUSE.ZIP folder. Unzip the command PERUSE to a common directory, like C:

At C:, type PERUSE /x 2152. This will initialize PERUSE. Type PERUSE /? for help.

To use peruse, hit the SCROLL LOCK key. This will let you use the up, down arrows, and page up, page down.
