Allen,

skip the quotation marks! Just do
set DIRCMD=/B
Next time you use the DIR command it will use the "bare format".

Good luck!

| The help screen for the DIR command mentions setting the
| DIRCMD variable as an alternative method of setting switches

|
| As an experiment, I attempted the following.
|
| SET DIRCMD="/B"
|
| It reported "file not found".
|
| What am I doing wrong?
