--------------------  REDIRECTION -  A Special DOS Feature  --------------------

REDIRECTION allows a program to direct its output to a target other than the
   display screen or to receive its input from a source other than the keyboard.

FORMAT:   <[d:][path]filename[.ext]     for input from a file

          >[d:][path]filename[.ext]     for output to a file

          >PRN                          for output to a printer

          >>[d:][path]filename[.ext]    for appended output to a file

REMARKS:

   If a program obtaining its input from a file via redirection ("<") tries to
   read data after end-of-file, DOS will be unable to supply the data and
   processing will stop.  In this event, use Control-Break to return to DOS.

   Redirection will not work if the program involved in redirection does not use
   DOS function calls to perform standard input and output.

EXAMPLES:

Redirect the output of the DIR command to the printer:

      DIR > PRN


Sort a directory display and write it to the file DIRFILE:

      DIR | SORT > DIRFILE


Append the output of the TREE command to the file TREEHIST:

      TREE >> TREEHIST
