Yes, I read readme.1st.  go32-v reported DPMI memory=19580 kb and DPMI
swap space=9956kb.  Right clicking on the title of the DOS box and
selecting properties/memory shows all the settings (Convential, ems,
xms, and dpmi) are set to "auto".

I'm able to compile (gcc) and run a "hello world" program so some/many
things are working.  Just entering REDIR by itself does return the
redir help screen.  Any other suggestions why the below REDIR command
gets "bad command or file name"?
