 Thanks Dave.  You're absolutely right.  I tested using the global
fp and
 the redirections work.  The only change needed is to sial.c.
  
OK, that's good -- queued for the next release.
Thanks,

 I don't see the need for crash_cmd_filep()?
 
 Since sial.c has the global "fp" #extern'd, it should
 just be able to call sial_setofile(fp), and then all
 redirection types should be covered.
