standard stream redirection

[Bill Long <WJL@zermatt.lcs.mit.edu>]

My usual solution to the problems of messages that file streams don't
handle is to send the information to a buffer instead.  The I can edit
the buffer or print it or do what ever I want.  Here's some simple code
to generate a stream that goes to a buffer:

(defvar *buf* ())

(defun make-buf ()
  (setq *buf* (zwei:open-editor-stream :buffer-name "my-temp"
				       :create-p t :no-redisplay t)))

Just send whatever you want to *buf*
