Ok, here is the solution to your prob : you need to write a text file device
driver. I just happen to have code. You want the StdOut things, i can't
remember how it works =(
p.s. the file's attached.

This will be useful for redirection - when you write to a
file assigned to by AssignSimult, data written to it will write to
the file AND the screen. *)
