SCO addressed this question in their last bi-monthly user's magazine but
they missed the mark COMPLETELY.  Their answer had to do with output
redirection which is kind of hard to do AFTER the application is already
running.  The only soultion I have been able to find is to go to a 
remote terminal that has local print capability and run the program
again.  Even this doesn't help if an error appears at the console that
you may not be able to (easily) duplicate.
If you get any "good" answers via mail, I would be interested in 
hearing them too.  BTW, I work for Illinois Bell.
