+In versions prior to 7.42.00, when `redirect csv <FileName>` was used, GAM did not open and write `<FileName>`
+until all processing was complete; if `<FileName>` was not accessible, an error was generated
+and no results were saved. Now, `<FileName>` is opened initially to verify accessiblity

-For `redirect`, the optional subarguments must appear in the order shown.
+In versions prior to 7.42.00`, the `redirect csv` optional subarguments had to be specified in the order shown.
+Now the arguments can be specified in any order except that `todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*` must still be last.
 
 If `<FileName>` specifies a relative path, the file will be put in the directory specified by `drive_dir` in gam.cfg.
 If `<FileName>` specifies an absolute path, the file will be put in the directory specified.
 Specify `./<FileName>` to put the file in your current working directory.

 The `multiprocess` subargument allows the multiple subprocesses started by `gam csv` to write intelligently
 to a single redirected CSV/stdout/stderr file. If you don't specify `multiprocess`, each subprocess
 writes `<FileName>` independently; you end up with a single file written by the last subprocess.
