Huh.  I just put that single line (print "Hello") into a script file and did

    python Hello.py > out.txt

as you specified, and it worked find.  I'm using BeOpen Python 2.0 on
Windows 98.
The same code works fine under Python 1.5.2 on Linux 2.2.

I'm puzzled.  Can you try this on a different Win98 computer?  Do you have a
keyboard
or console redirector running (not DOSKEY but a clone)?  Are you running
COMMAND.COM, 4DOS, Win95CMD.exe, or what?  Can you think of anything
unusual about your console configuration?

I've never tried the DOS version, so I can't comment here.
