to use things like redirect's "> < |" these are part of the command interputer.

For win9x/me this is command.com
for XP/W2k/nt this is cmd.exe

All MS operation systems have a environment variable called %comspec% that points to the correct file.

You will want to use the DOS ECHO command for this action.

shell '%comspec% /c echo @date/Time > file.txt'
