Thanks I will give that a try. Coming from a UNIX background, I
forgot that in DOS you can't redirect standard error. You can in
UNIX.

But I'm still wondering why opening CON doesn't work. Is it because
an open call inside of program sets up buffered I/O ?

I'm assuming that because the calls which set up the graphics mode
and position the cursor on the screen are indeed dealing with the
screen directly, so that a print to 2, would end up the same place on
the screen as a print to 1.
