Non-command specific redirection, as in exec >[2] err.out doesn't seem to have any effect in es. e.g., ; cat tst exec >[2] err.out ls wakabunga ; ; es tst ls: wakabunga: No such file or directory ; ; rc tst ; cat err.out ls: wakabunga: No such file or directory Donn Cave, University Computing Services, University of Washington donn@cac.washington.edu
