I think it's because aliases are just simple text substitutions. So if you
have 'make' being transformed to 'settitle Making $(basename $PWD)&& make
"$@"' then you would get 'make>& make.out' becoming 'settitle Making
$(basename $PWD)&& make "$@">& make.out' and as you see the redirect only
gets applied to the command after the '&&'.
cheers,

Dave:
Ah, I understand.
I wrapped the whole alias in paras and am now getting all errors put
into make.out, including the basename.
I'll go and figure out some way to filter $(PWD) to be acceptable to
basename.
Many thanks for taking the time to help,
Paul
