I can't redirect it a file in QTEMP, but this seems to work for sending

That's cool. It's about as un-Unixy a syntax as you can find for
redirection, but it works! :)

The member has to exist, or otherwise it errors out. It will replace the
contents of the member everytime it's run.

I just tried it, and it created a brand-new member. Perhaps you mean
the source PF has to exist?

Interestingly, I just tried it again with a regular data PF (created
using CRTPF, no DDS, just a record length) and that also worked as the
redirect target. For that, though, it wouldn't create a brand-new
member.

And I just tried an IFS stream file, and that worked fine, including
creating the destination file from scratch. This is, as expected, the
best "fit" for stdout, since it's stream to stream.

So this property thing is actually quite flexible and handy!
