Tim,

STDOUT is actually a filehandle which points to an I/O channel.
In most cases flushing is instantaneous.  That having been said,
I have seen cases where flushing appeared to be buffered, and
output only occurred upon completion of a subroutine. Good Luck.

When you print to STDOUT, is it a pipe?  or does STDOUT wait until some sort

of a flush command at the 'death' of the program, and then spill its 
contents...

If it flushes rather than pipes, is there a way to modify the flush routine 
upon its call?

I remember  reading some stuff about this behavior, but I can't seem to find

it now.

Not  a big deal, but maybe some discussion material.

Tim
