Ken:

Thanks for the suggestion. Having a bit of difficulty getting all the 
different ways of redirecting to work (makes me wonder about both my 
copy of bash and my understanding of bash).

I was able to get:
+++
make > make.out 2>&1
+++
to produce the same results as "&>".

If I replace the "2" with 3/4/5, I still get the basename going to 
screen, but the makefile's error as well (which is what I would expect 
since I am not redirecting "2")

Paul
