Noob questions.. Append output to a file in different directory
Noob question!
I know almost nothing so far, and I'm trying to teach myself from books, on a typical command line without using scripts how would I append output from a sort to a file in a completely different directory?
example:
If I'm sorting a file in my documents directory but I also want the results to show up in a folder on the mail directory. What would i need to put in the command line,
so far I'm thinking:
sort file9 | tee -a .... and then i don't know what to put to get the appended data on a pipeline to the desired location..
any help would save me a few more gray hairs

NAME
crosshair - Crosshairs for Tk canvas
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl ?8.4?
package require Tk ?8.4?
package require crosshair ?1.0.2?
crosshair::crosshair w ?arg...?
crosshair::off w
crosshair::configure w ?arg...?
crosshair::track on w cmdprefix
crosshair::track off w
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The crosshair package provides commands to (de)activate and track crosshairs on canvas widgets.
API
The following commands are exported to the public:
crosshair::crosshair w ?arg...?
This command activates the display of a pair of cross-hairs for the canvas widget w. The cross-hairs track the pointing device. The
result of the command is the empty string.
All arguments after the widget w are treated as options as for a canvas line item in w. Of particular interest are -fill and -dash.
crosshair::off w
This command removes the cross-hairs from the canvas widget w. Nothing is done if the widget had no cross-hairs. The result of the
command is the empty string.
crosshair::configure w ?arg...?
This command changes the appearance of the cross-hairs in the canvas widget w. It is an error to call it for a canvas which has no
cross-hairs.
All arguments after the widget w are treated as options as for a canvas line item in w. Of particular interest are -fill and -dash.
The result of the command are the current configuration settings.
crosshair::track on w cmdprefix
This command activates reporting of the location of the cross-hairs in the canvas widget w. It is an error to use this command for a
canvas which has no cross-hairs. The result of the command is the empty string.
After the invokation of this command the specified command prefix cmdprefix will be called whenever the mouse moves within the can-
vas, with 7 arguments. These are, in order:
[1] The widget w
[2] The x-location of the cross-hairs, in pixels.
[3] The y-location of the cross-hairs, in pixels.
[4] The x-location of the top-left corner of the viewport, in pixels.
[5] The y-location of the top-left corner of the viewport, in pixels.
[6] The x-location of the bottom-right corner of the viewport, in pixels.
[7] The y-location of the bottom-right corner of the viewport, in pixels.
A previously existing callback for w will be disabled. I.e. per canvas widget with cross-hairs only one callback reporting their
location is possible.
crosshair::track off w
This command disables the reporting of the location of the cross-hairs in the canvas widget w. It is an error to use this command
for a canvas which has no cross-hairs. The result of the command is the empty string.
