Group, I have a very simple task ( I thought would be simple). I need to telnet into a box and do a "type file_to_type". I log in successfully, but no matter what I do I can not get the type of the file. I have done a $t->print(String=>'type file_to_type'); I have been up one side and down the other with $t->cmd. I am at a loss. Has anyone done this type of thing before on Windows 2000 - works perfectly on unix. Thanks. 

my $cmd = 'type \\PROGRA~1\\Mitel\\OPSManager\\Data\\export.out';

 $t = new Net::Telnet (Timeout => 10,
                        Prompt => '/[>] $/');
 $t->dump_log($dump_file);
 $t->input_log($input_log);
 $t->open("10.0.75.1");
 $t->waitfor(String=>"login");
 $t->print($username);
 $t->waitfor(String=>"password");
 $t->print($passwd);
 $t->waitfor(String=>">");
 @lines = $t->cmd(String=>$cmd,
                  Prompt => '/\\[a-zA-Z0-9]*> $/',
                  Timeout=>500);
