And you won't!  The 3 standard streams (and STDAUX and STDPRN in
addition) are already open when the program starts.  This is a DOS
feature, so the program doesn't have to do anything to get them.  This
works because the shell (COMMAND.COM or any other) lets the program
you invoke inherit these standard streams from its own handle table.
