Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Just use any of the innumerable DA/TEXT editors to display/edit it
while you continue to download in the background.
really, some people...

Redirection? What would you want to re-direct? The only real reason to
use re-direction is if you're using crippled, Unix/DOS style programs
that are running under a shell such as MPW or Aztec; of which at least
Aztec supports re-direction. (MPW probably does, i dunno)

Activateing out of sight things?  Simple. Use OnQue.

Batch files?? They're you've got me. You'll just have to run
MPW, Aztec shell, or Unix on your Mac if you really want true botching.

Disclaimer: I don't work for Manx Software Systems or Apple COmputer
or whoever makes OnCue. I only use Manx/Apple products.
