I think I may be confused also!  I simply hit ALT+W, one backspace, type in
the specific filename, and hit 'ENTER', and it's a done deed.

I use the following in my MSGED.CFG:

confirm        yes
outfile        C:\MATT\NT\AN

Since I'm on Ver 1.99L, your verbs in the .CFG are probably different.

      Good luck...  M.
