[Xquartz-dev] Problem with redirection running wish script from Xquartz Menu

[Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia]

Can you be a little more specific about what you're trying to do?  What makes you think the problem is the redirection of stdout?  You mention redirection from the XQuartz menu and Finder, but your statement doesn't have any redirection, and I'm not sure what you're doing with Finder.

Is the problem actually that isatty() is false?

This sounds more like a bug in xprompt.tcl.
