I know how to use the ">" command to direct the cmd output to a text file, but then the output does not appear on the screen. How do I, if possible, direct the output and at the same time, have it appears on screen ? Thanks.

Type in the word type followed by a space and the directory of the file, or just the filename if you are already at the destined directory. If possible the test of the file will then be displayed inline.
Hope this helps,
John
why bother when you can make use of XP's native ability to filter output through another command.
The following (simply an example) redirects the DIR command output into a file then processes the file through another command:
dir > c:\dir.txt | type c:\dir.txt
dir > c:\dir.txt | sort < c:\dir.txt
dir > c:\dir.txt | more < c:\dir.txt
