- Actually, this stuff is documented on-line. Double-click on the
- ``Master Help Index'' icon. Look for the topic ``operators, redirecting
- input and output'' (located in the "O" section) and double-click.
- Then you will see the command operators (like >, 2>1, &&, etc)
- as well as many examples.
-
- There is a *lot* of information located in the ``Master Help Index''.
