Shell Function - Execute DOS Command

Excel 2000 running in XP:

Having trouble getting consistent results from VBA Shell Function.

For example, this command appears to run okay, but doesn't print cat.txt,
which is located in root directory. Is there something wrong with syntax?
Thanks ....

ID = Shell("command.com /c print cat.txt")
