Dennis,

I am working on Unix and that redirects any screen I/O (I believe) to 
another place.  I am so used to doing it, I forget if it is the screen 
IO or error IO and where &1 is.

I just look at the last command line and copy it when I do these and now 
I guess the meaning has been lost to me.  Maybe one of the Unix script 
people would clarify that part of the line.

I write scripts so infrequently, I find that I mimic what I did before 
so I do not have to try to remember the entire language and rules.

So I apologize for the vagueness of my answer and hope someone else will 
help me out a bit.

Nancy
