All right. But this should be applicable even then:

For e.g. you could add something like this to eshell-pre-command-hook:

(lambda () (eshell-set-output-handle 1 'insert (eshell-get-buffer
(concat "output-" (eshell/pwd)))))

...if you don't want to do (info "(eshell) Redirection") manually.

Eshell is not that well documented, though. I don't know it well either.
