redirecting output

[cara]

I am using bash. I discovered through trial and error that >& apparently redirects both standard output and standard error. Is there an equivalent for appending to a file? I tried >>& but it didn't work. Thanks for any help!

Go it! In case anyone else is interested, this works:

command >> outputfile 2>&1

The 2>&1 redirects standard error to standard output, thus >> captures it all.
