I get the same result (delays). However, no delays are present if I use
!dir *.hlp /S/b >2files.txt

I agree. I think this is an XP issue. I get exactly the same very
intermittent delays and screens on a command like this:
shell dir *.hlp /S/b > sfiles.txt
I have thought that XP was "busy" at the moment and that it was the cause of
the delay.
