Thank you for all the assistance! Once I added the PATH info it works great! I do have one more question now that I have gotten back to working on this. If I wanted this to put the combined sorted info into a text file, is this the correct format? I am not getting any data in the file and this is why I would like to ask.

Code:
c:\\wbin\\cat.exe tmp\\*.log | c:\\wbin\\sort.exe -k 3 -r > c:\\TLlogs.txt

Error Message: c:\\wbin\\cat.exe: write error: Invalid argument

Thank again for all the help with my adding the PATH location info correctly - and for any assistance with this one!!

USAGE

       Here are some real life usages.

       Checks for xft support:
       if fvwm-config --supports-xft;
	 then echo 1; else echo 0; fi

       fvwm-themes package checks for the correct fvwm version installed using:
       fvwm-config --version
       and tries to use the same installation directories:
       fvwm-config --bindir --mandir --fvwm-datadir

       A way to find the full path to the fvwm executable:
       echo `fvwm-config --bindir`/`fvwm-config --fvwm-exe`

       A way to start modules in perl:
       use lib `fvwm-config -p | tr -d '0`;
       use FVWM::Module;

       For a more human readable output, try:
       fvwm-config --info

COPYING

       fvwm-config is a part of fvwm package and distributed by the same terms, see GNU GPL.
