Check out this little clipping from my online man page.

     The only way to direct  the  standard  output  and  standard
     error separately is by invoking a subshell, as follows:

          tutorial% (command > outfile) >& errorfile

     Although robust enough for general use, adventures into  the
     esoteric  periphery  of  the  C-Shell  may reveal unexpected
     quirks.
