Try pressing Ctrl-S.

I don't know.  I tried the exact command above, and it worked for me.
Are you sure this was the *exact* command you typed?

Btw, if by "-oe -e error.log" you meant to redirect both stdout and 
stderr to error.log, then you were wrong.  The handles are redirected in 
the order you mention them on the command line, so the above redirects 
stdout to the console, because that's where stderr is initially, then 
redirects stderr to a file.  You need to do it the other way around:

	redir -e error.log -oe unzip32 djdev202

This is explained in the redir docs.
