Has anyone encountered a problem with output redirection from a shell?
Specifically, when I do
lb > prt: <lib-name> -t
(this is the Aztec C librarian program), intending to get a directory
to my printer, it goes instead to the screen with a 'by-the-way'
error message.
But Amiga's own commands seem to continue to work with redirection,
like the AmigaDos DIR, etc.
Do I have to dig into the depths of my tangled startup-sequences, or
did AmigaDos change redirection in ways that would require recoding
(or possibly relinking) other programs, contrary to the way i read the
1.3 doc.
thanks for any help.

First of, I'm not too happy with that space between the ">" and
the "prt:".
On the other hand, lb might bypass the standard output mechanism
and send it's friendly messages directly to the console window...

thanks for your reply.
the lb command USED to work correctly, as i typed it, under a normal
workbench 1.2 cli. only now, since i switched to workbench 1.3, and
try the command from a shell, does it not work correctly.
but the amigados commands still handle redirection properly.
i grant you its not a super-important question, but it would be
convenient to have 'hard' lists of my libraries.
thanks again.

Re: .2
Hmmm, I'll check that tonite, two fellow Software Brewery members
own the Aztec package.
