Re: output buffer in SQR?

[Al H <star111lists@MINDSPRING.COM>]

It sounds like you are expecting to look at the .log file to see your
output before SQR is finished running.  No that will not show up until
the SQR is closed because SQR does not close the output file until it
terminates.

If you need to see the output prior to the termination of the SQR, you
need to make sure you have the Communication Box open.  Make sure you
do NOT have -xcb in your command line, or put -cb in the command line
so the communication box shows up.
