How to Redirect Input for a Command
The option for input redirection is <. You can create a file with data for a command, then
execute the command with that file as input. For example, the file MESSAGES shown below

on the island card reader’s display. The second column is the length of time each line is
displayed.

How to Redirect Output from a Command

The >> option appends data to the end of an existing file. For example, the command PRINT
TRANSACTIONS;>TRANS puts the output of PRINT TRANSACTIONS in the file TRANS,
deleting whatever was in the TRANS file.
The command PRINT TRANSACTIONS;>>TRANS appends the output of the command
PRINT TRANSACTIONS to the file TRANS.
