Does the following describe the BUG?

<SNIP Notepad Help>
To append a log to a document
On the first line of a Notepad document, type the following
extension at the left margin, making sure you use all uppercase
letters and include the period:

.LOG

On the File menu, click Save.

**** Note ****
Every time you open this document, Notepad will append the current
time and date to the end of the document, as specified by your
computer's clock.

</SNIP Notepad Help>

If that's the case, all you need to do is create a start.txt file and use that
as the initial item to create the batch file.

<SNIP start.txt>
------------------------------------------------------------

</SNIP start.txt>

<SNIP [H.BAT]>
type start.txt >hlaop.txt
hla -v %1.hla >>hlaop.txt
notepad hlaop.txt
</SNIP [H.BAT]>

I rarely, if never, NOT use them. Here's a handy batch file:

[H.BAT]
hla -v %1.hla >hlaoutput.txt
notepad hlaoutput.txt

And when testing your nifty proggie { r hlaadv [-options?] } use:

[R.BAT]
%1 %2 >runoutput.txt
notepad runoutput.txt

I found bugs in 'notepad' so substitute your favourite alternative.
