"just writing to the screen" is not quite the way to think of it. There's a reasong it's not called System.screen.println(). On Linux (and other Unices), for example, you can individually redirect stderr and stdout to different pipes/files/applications, etc. In my IDE (intellij), stdout messages are colored black, while stderr are colored red . I'd also be interested in how to send some things to stdout and others to stderr. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
