     To save text output from Figlet or anything in DOS (i.e. directory
listings), put a greater-than sign ">" followed by a filename at the
end of the command line.  To use text from an existing file for Figlet
output, use  the less-than sign "<" followed by the filename.

For example:

FIGLET [switches] <infile.txt >outfile.txt

   So if infile.txt is "John Doe", it will take the letters in "John
Doe" and output them in Figlet characters.  The results will be
written to outfile.txt.  To append an existing file, use two greater-
than signs ">>".  If you use one ">", and the file already exists, it
will be overwritten with no warning.  I hope this helps.
