   I've found an interesting thing.  You can use DosWrite() to file handle
0 (IE the one that's normally STDIN) and it appears on the screen.  This
can be directed to a file by "myprog 0> myfile"...  This means
that you've got 3 streams of output available from your program if you need
it.
   As you might guess I discovered this as a result of a bug in my program
which resulted in it writing to file handle 0 instead of 1.  This bug was
found after the program had been working as designed (IE all output
appeared on screen) for several weeks.  ;-)
