Ok, this is not really a Windows 95 question, but I think this is the best place to ask. MS had a QBASIC version called just QB that ran in DOS and still runs pretty good even in recent versions of Windows. But it does not do long file names. So here is my question.
I recall reading that you can do I/O redirection with QB if you OPEN the console as a file. But I do not remember what the name of the console was. It was something like "CON" or "SCR" or something other that a real file.
Does anybody remember?
