I use cut and paste and notepad.

It is good to have a backup.

Maybe your switch has the interface range command?
New ones do.

int range fa 0/1 - 10 ! Note 0/1[Space]-[Space]10
spann portfast

New software has
switch(config)do show run

You can also use a second telnet session, which I use a lot.

Thanks to all who answered my questions on this issue.

I've gotten an email from Cisco support in south asia with my guest
registration. I can finally access more parts of the cisco web site and was
able to download the latest patch for the 2924XL switch which includes the
web based files.

So I should be able to get a feel for what that web based thing is all
about and whether it does or doesn't work. (I suspect it won't work because
I don't run Microsoft software).

A final question: The download site does not differentiate between standard
and enterprise versions. I am correct in stating that the enterprise
features are part of the one software distribution, but only enabled when
running on hardware having the "enterprise" bit set in its ROM ?

(By switch has a model number of WS-C2924-XL-EN in the back , so I assume
that "enterprise" is determined by hardware and not by whcih software you
download ?)

I do not know exactly for this model however there
are a few cases:-

I have never seen or heard of an "Enterprise bit"

Some software runs on different switch models and
generates Enterprise behaviour on one model
and non-E behaiour on another. I forget the models
that I have seen this on but they were visibly and functionally
different - not just a bit set.

Some hardware can run different software
and get different levels of functioning.
Usually routers work like this. The router
itself is not marked in any way depending on
the software loaded at the factory.

Some switches can have different software loaded and
get different functionality and were marked with
a part number that stated the original factory load.
I think that this may be where you are.

I suspect that in your case Cisco decided not to maintain
the non-E software and now just make one version available.

Hmmm. May or may not be the case but I doubt that Cisco
have any axe to grind here.

The web application is Java based. It'll work if you have the right Java
plug-in
loaded in your browser. On Windows, it doesn't like the latest Sun releases.
I
don't know about other platforms.

For most of their platforms, Cisco have no particular affinity with M$
(as far as I am aware) so I wouldn't let this worry you. In fact on
the few times I have used the Web interface Mozilla has worked fine
for me regardless of OS (personally, I don't use any M$ S/W myself).

I think you will find that the 2924-XL series only has the one IOS
these days, the last Switches I saw a Standard/Enterprise distinction
on were the 1900 series and that was not IOS........;-)
