redirect to a file and to the screen?

[yawnmoth]

"dir > dir.txt" will output the dir results into dir.txt, while "dir"
will output it to the screen. Is there a way of making it so it can be
output in both places? eg. log it to a file and output it to the
screen?

For dir, you could just do it twice, but for more time consuming
applications, doing it twice is not such a great option.

Thoughts.
CON: is the console device name (screen).
Separating commands with & allows you to string commands together.

Practice:

Start | Run <type in> cmd /k dir > junk & notepad junk <enter>
