It should be done something like this :-


     handle = Fopen/Fcreate ("filename", WRITE)        Obvious
     Fforce (1, handle)                                Ditto
     Pexec (kiddy)                                     Call child
     Fforce (1,1)                                      Reset stdout
     Fclose (handle)                                   Close file



Hope this solves the problem. I think there might be a more elegant way of
resetting stdout, though. However, Fforce does the job.
