That would be an improvement.  Did you know the (rather tedious)
work around for this?

First redirect stdout, then redirect both stdout (now eliminated)
and stdout.  e.g. to "loose" stderr and retain stdout:-

	( command > /dev/tty ) >& /dev/null

Could be true.  Problem is, I keep coming across new csh scripts
....it may to a generation or so to see them disappear!! ;^)


[I'm teaching my intern how to convert csh scripts to ksh,
to simplify future maintenance .... perhaps this should become a quest
for this news group!  ;^) ]
