Hi David,
I want to get both the 4 and the "1+3" that created it.
I am trying to help someone else on the mailing list that is looking for a
way to "sink" the console into word, so he could have word read it to him
(he is blind).
I know how to do the second part, but the first part (using sink with the
commands, and not just the output), I am somehow missing...
Best,
Tal
