newbie: hg diff -r#1 -r#2 path:somename.diff ( no cigar )

[Bill Freeman]

Try:

   hg diff -r#1 -r#2 > path:somename.diff

Most commands from a unix world default to simply printing the result.
the ">" is interpreted by the shell (in this case cmd.exe) as meaning
that the terminal on which the command can "print" is adjusted to
really be the following file.

I´m running hg in W7 from the commandprompt. The only examples I´ve been able
to find are like : hg diff -r rev1 -r ref2 filename.. I get the diff info in
the console allright, & I don´t get any error message, but no file is
generated?? What´s missing.. Help would really be appreciated. THx
