Thank you. Whenever this happens to me I use the good-ole CTRL-S method. Basically, as soon as you type "make" hit CTRL-S. This will pause output right at the beginning. Then you can do a quick SPACE/CTRL-S combo to get the next few lines. You have to be fast though! SPACE will un-pause the output and CTRL-S will re-pause it. If you're fast enough you should be able to catch the first few lines. Actually, the best way would be to redirect stderr to a file so you can read it at your leisure. I don't know how to do this in DOS. Anyone know? Scott
