	To partially answer my own question, upon further experimentation, it
does appear that

	cmd 2>&1 | tee log

does do what I wanted. I was trying,

	time date 2>&1 | tee log

which doesn't work. But I think that is because "time" is built into the Korn
shell that I am using. Only

	(time date 2>&1) | tee log

works, although

	/bin/time date 2>&1 | tee log

also works.

	Which brings up the even more stupid question of how do you control
when the dup() occurs. Suppose you DID want the stderr to be the OLD stdout
and the NEW stdout to be the pipe. (why, well...)
