Hi Jan,

I highly suggest to remove the paragraph with alternative (by closing both filedescriptors):

$foobar >ampersand- 2>ampersand-

This is not working as one might expect: the error about not being able to write to ampersand1 will also have no chance to being output and the whole consruct returns an error as return code:

$ ls >ampersand- ls: write error: Bad file descriptor $ echo $? 2 $ ls >/dev/null $ echo $? 0 $

(Sorry, the key-tags are not working and a real ampersand stops the processing.)
