Ick.  Backup plan:  add "<" to the list of commands that get help
and make a note (strongly :) that any command output redirected to
shell commands will get the command prompt and full command line
sent to it as well.  It is very unexpected.  Perhaps an example
like the one I sent showing the merged text.  Advertise the feature
so it won't bite so hard.

Thank you!
