Q. Or in Linux to run xemacs from the terminal, I would do:
xemacs &
This would launch xemacs and return control to the terminal. I want to do similar in XP's cmd.
Thanks in advance!
"call" doesn't work...
Found the answer. It is e.g.:
start "" notepad.exe

A. It works exactly the same way.
For instance if I put notepad.exe into a line in a batch file, notepad would open and the batch file would be halted until notepad was closed at which time the batch file would resume.
If you want to open a program and then continue the batch without exiting that program, use call.
eg. Call notepad.exe

How would I randomize a VERY LARGE text file?
Q. As the title suggest, I'm looking to randomize a massive text file, in the upwards of 3gb. This goes beyond the processing power of programs such as Notepad++ and also TextPipe Pro. I work with very large lists like this often and have yet to find a solution. Does anyone have suggestions?
A. Not sure what you mean by randomize.
In Linux in Perl etc. you could just allocate a good chunk of swap memory and let it chug away. I
had a LaTeX2HTML process years ago that ran fine in more memory than I had RAM.
Heck, 3Gb isn't that much RAM nowadays so you don't even need that. If you wanted to randomize 3Tb it might take a bit more thought.
If it's something you do often, then maybe it's worth spending a bit of time on. Better algorithms beat faster computers hands-down. We get so lazy nowadays - just buy a new computer instead of tuning programs and doing digital liposuction (removing the fat).

Linux users if I use a CD that came with a book to install linux and it is missing programs?
Q. Like let's say movie player, or music player, or simple things like calculator, or some sort of notepad. Where can I download them that will work with linux?
A. Linux will generally have a program like Software Center or Synaptic to install the files from their repositories. You open this and type in a search for what you may not have, check the file and click apply and it will install the software for you. There isn't any reason to be doing terminal commands unless it is a file that is not in the repository and to install from the terminal, you must be logged in as root, not user. Most versions of Linux disable the root account to prevent people from messing the operating system up. Some of what you have mentioned are part of the install for the desktop environment being used and don't need to be installed by the user. You can always download a Linux LiveCD and run it in memory to see if it is what you want to install.
