HELP POPDEVOUT Revised by Fran Evelyn, July 85 popdevout -> device POPDEVOUT is an active variable which holds the device for the standard output channel (written to by *CHAROUT). Assigning to it, <device> -> popdevout enables a new device to be assigned to the standard channel, and can be used along with the updaters of POPDEVIN and POPDEVERR to redirect standard I/O after SYSFORKing a child process, and before SYSEXECUTEing a new image.
