"Less", I believe. You use the up and down arrows to scroll.

If it's MS Win, then "more" should do.
(I'm not sure if "less" is Windows/Dos machine.)

On the command line:
whatever.bat | more

[Alli]

Oh yeah, that was for Unix. But in my experience with "more," it scrolls down but not back up again.

Your right it scrolls down but not back up they must have something somewhere and forget about the arrow keys i can just type type file.txt and it will scroll down but not back up i guess what i have to do is get all the commands and try each one at the bootup screen where can i get all the commands that are used

You can install Cygwin, and you have lots of unix tools including "less".

And redirects and pipe works for stdout and stderr separately.
If you are trying to see the ERROR outputs,
you should redirect sdrerr, probably like this "whatever.bat 2| more".

I don't know if Win/DOS could do "2>&1" to duplicate stderr to stdout.

* You can also use some texteditor like "textpad" to capture output (I think both error and standard).
* Some console programs allow you to scroll back (including cmd.exe? of Win2K).
* You can connect via telnet, and many terminals let you capture the output into a log file.
* Maybe there is a precompiled binary for "less" that works on your machine.
* Probably, there are several other ways you can achive what you want. :)
