Mark,

If you want to send the gdlist output to a file, you should
set the OUTPUT parameter to f/filename. The f means send the
output to a file (as opposed to T which sends it to a terminal),
and filename is the output file name you want. If you omit the
filename, then the output will be written to a file called gdlist.fil.
