Hi,

I have 2 files which I would like to paste so that the data appears in 2 
columns. But the way I'm doing it, the second file always overwrites the first. 
FYI - I'm used to pasting in Unix...

Here's what i do:

(create the input files)
echo one > 1
echo two > 2
(paste them together)
paste 1 2 > 3

At this point, with a Unix paste I would have a file named 3 containing the 
words "one  two".
but with this Windows paste, the only word in the file is "     two".

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,
Monica Lindsey
