Anyway, the immediate problem is that I get an error when I write this. I think it said "ambiguous redirection" unfortunately I don't have it with me now. I would like to save the information produced by make world even though it doesn't mean much to me right now. I ssume I'm making some error with syntax here. Can you help me? Thanks. Greg
