RE: Why do I need to be a %^#$# programmer to use Linux?
Steve,
ls bozo ... Was that an implication?? :-) I knew about stdin, stderr etc,
just didn't know how to apply them thanks!
BTW, I never said programmers were #*@#&, just that I don't claim to be a
&^%# programmer!
Thanks!!

If you're running bash, you can redirect the error output (stderr, in
%^#$#'ing programmer speak) by typing '2>filename' after your command.
Example:
quail (ss)$ ls bozo 2>errors
quail (ss)$ cat errors
ls: bozo: No such file or directory
quail (ss)$
