The desktop .ttp dialog box doesn't do any I/O redirection processing.
It just passes '<*' and '>*' arguments through directly.  If you are
running a program that has startup code to look for these kind of
arguments and do it's own redirection they will work; otherwise not.
(By startup code, I mean the assembly language code that sets up the
environment to call the C main routine).

The code generated by at least one compiler (I forget which one off hand)
has the restriction that only redirection arguments at the start of the
argument list will be handled; ones buried further down will be ignored.
