Syntax: SET BUFFER OUTPUT FILE file_spec Associates an output file with the current buffer. This command associates an output file to a buffer for writing the buffer out to a file. This command does not cause the buffer to be written to a file. You can disassociate the current buffer from an output file by specifying this command with a blank output file name. In this case, LSE asks you to supply a file name when you request that the buffer be written out.
