Others have pointed out that you can use the GO32 environment variable
to redirect stderr.  This is needed because COMMAND.COM does not know
how to do the redirect.

Other shells for DOS are smarter than COMMAND.COM, and can redirect
stderr for you.  I use MS_SH200 from SIMTEL20.  It's similar to the
UNIX ksh, and it allows you to redirect stderr like you would on UNIX.
I believe the popular 4DOS replacement for COMMAND.COM will also allow
you to redirect stderr.
