It's not.

That's what we are doing different. Now I see it. Thanks. The file it's
displaying is wphelp.hlp.

FWIW/2. Inf/hlp indexes are stupid. Searching for less is usually
better. Try:

G:
cd \OS2\HELP
for %f in (*.inf) do view %f redirect

To solve your problem, you might try something like:

( xcopy & if errorlevel 1 pause ) | tee filename

I have no clue if cmd.exe will handle it, but it's syntactically correct.
