Hmm, bugger. There was a pipe symbol between these quotes (and 
elsewhere) when I entered this message.  They have been stripped 
from message which makes it a bit "wrong"!

Trying again, that shoul've read:

>When you pipe with "|" this only redirects stream 1/stdout
>Also ">" only redirects stream 1 /stdout

and

>   tar --help 2>&1 | more [Stderr redirected to stdout, stdout 
>                           piped into more]

Hope that works!
