ouch! you are hurting my brains! :)
i notice the sh man page says nothing about this stuff ...
and i also notice that the shell newsgroup is appears "dead".

ok.

stdout to tty
stderr to tty
redirection 2>&1
stderr to stdout (tty)
redirection > file
stdout to file
got it! i think this is an easy mistake to make, since one would assume
if a stderr is duplicated on stdout, then any redirection of stdout would
also apply to stderr.
> make world > /proxy/world3 2>&1
stdout to tty
stderr to tty
redirection > file
stdout to file
redirection 2>&1
stderr to stdout (file)
got it. i notice "make world > 2>&1 /proxy/world3" is an error,
but "make world 2>&1 > /proxy/world3" is not! (sh)
i can't make sense out of this. it seems to me they shoud either BOTH
be errors, or BOTH be functional. ???

so with bash one could say:
make world 2&>1 /proxy/world3
and get the desired effect, correct? (i don't have bash ...)
> ( make world 2>&1 >> /proxy/world3 ) > /proxy/world3
in a subshell:
stdout to tty
stderr to tty
redirection 2>&1
stderr to stdout
stdout >> file
end subshell.
--------------
redirection > file
stdout (subshell stderr) > file
got it!
> { make world 2>&1 >> /proxy/world3 ; } > /proxy/world3
same thing with grouping instead of subshell spawning.

hmmm. in sh, ">" inside works as well ... ???
