Here's an easy one .....

How do I redirect standard output from a .BAT file ?

If I have a one line file TEST.BAT which looks like this -
@echo Hello World

and I type ...

TEST > TEST.OUT

... at the C> prompt I get "Hello World" on the screen and a 0 
length file, TEST.OUT

Is this correct behaviour under DOS 5 ?
Am I going mad ?
Should I switch to UNIX ? (OK, I know the answer to that one !)

Julian.
