I don't know if Win9x/ME supports this, but under Win2K, you can do this:
C:\> ls 2> ls.txt
Since ls is not a valid command under Win2K, it will generate an error
message on stderr, but I have redirected it into a file. This is the same
way that Unix shells do it (while still not as useful as bash or ksh, the
command shell under Win2000 is much better than the older DOS-like ones
under Win9x).
Otherwise, I recommend CygWin.
