It's normally used in a more interesting way than my trivial 
example--for example sending the output to a pipe which then eventually 
sends the output to a file.  Something like:

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "tshark -w -" > /some/file

(so tshark gets executed on 'somehost' but the output file is created on 
your local machine.)

Hmmm, yeah.  I'll see if I can get my Windows build going again though 
IIRC I never could capture stuff with my own builds.
