I don't take it at all as being "blown off" to be referred to a site which could help me, however, see below. I appreciate that it is up to me to make an effort and try and solve issues for myself, but at the moment, I'm stuck!

HOST
HOST is not available in iSQL*Plus.
HO[ST] [command]
Executes a host operating system command without leaving SQL*Plus.

I have tried searching, and can find nothing about my problem, i.e. how to actually see the list of files when one does "HOST Dir", as opposed to just seeing a black window for a second or so, and then it disappearing.

Searching the following

"keep and session and values"
"between and session and values"

didn't get me anything suitable, at least as far as I could see. Maybe my searching techniques are not good?

Thanks for your input.
