output redirection

[William Katz <druid@dorsai.org>]

Does anyone know if I can redirect output, from ProDOS AppleSoft BASIC for
example, to a file or serial port?
What I want to do is send the output of a "catalog" command to either a
file, or my Apple Super Serial Card serial port.
I tried the following unsuccessfully:
At the basic prompt, I typed "pr#2", then typed "catalog".  On my m$-dos
computer, I only saw garbage characters on the screen.  I have the two
computers connected via null-modem, and use Telix on the m$-dos side set
at 9600 or 19200 bps, and 8N1, with XON/XOFF set on.  The connection works
just fine, as I have transfered many files between the two computers this
way (using ProTERM 3.1 on the //e side).  In ProTERM, is there any way to
send a disk "catalog" to the editor, or directly to the 'modem'?
I also tried using Copy II+ 9.1, and set my printer slot to 2.  Again,
only garbage characters on the other computer.
I'm guessing that a simple AppleSoft BASIC program can write output to a
file?  Something like:

10 d$=chr$(4): print d$;"pr#3"
20 print d$;"create catalog.txt,ttxt"
30 print d$;"open catalog.txt"
40 print d$;"catalog,s6,d1"
50 print d$;"write catalog.txt"
60 print d$;"close catalog.txt"
70 end

It's been a while since I used basic, so excuse any errors in the above
attempt.
It would be nice if ProDOS had the built in ability to do command
redirection, such as "command > file.txt".  I know redirecting to the
printer is pretty easy, via "pr#1", typing in your commands, followed by a
"pr#0".
Anyway, TIA for any help.
