To all that have posted to me, sorry about the significant detail I
left out: I am using a university computing facility, and cannot
change the base setup of the machine. Hence 4DOS etc are not
possible, and similarly I cannot afford eg Microsoft Programmers
Workbench, just to get stderr redircted to stdout. I have a freeware?
utility for redirecting PRN: to a file, and can use the `printscreen'
key with this, if I am quick and prepared to sit over the computer
during compiles, but "there must be an easier way" (tm).

Especially since redirection is explicitly supported in the
documentation. From what DJ said, if you are going to redirect
stderr, you must either swap stderr and stdout, or else send one or
both to an additional monochrome monitor. However I get the
impression that this was mainly intended for mono monitors, as it
doesn't seem to work with either "2r1 1r2" or "1r2 2r1" in the GO32
environment variable.
