I've spent a lot of time looking at my Bantam DOS manual since my last
post and not only have I solved my problem using a totally unsuggested
method (that I think is better than any of the suggestions) but I have
also found the DOS 2.0 has stderr.

Do any of the shells for the ami' actually use it?
With redirection?
