Yeah OK, but I don't have a lot of use for DOS and who would? ..so I got
derailed. I'm very fortunate to have asked at the right forum. And I'm REAL
fortunate to have stumbled onto the ">" construct in the command line which
makes it a breeze to send my PHP parsing output directly to a file and so
not have to mess with that mouse usage parameter or errant returns in my
data. Wow, y'can't argue w/success!
