To get output from Figlet (or anything from the command line, such
as DIR, etc.), use >filename.ext at the end of the line. If you
want to append an existing file, use two greater-than symbols,
>>filename.txt. If you use just one ">", it will overwrite an
existing file, so be careful here.

Another trick is that if you want to use the text from an existing
file to turn into Figlet text, use "<". So you'd have something
that looks like this:

FIGLET [options] <INFILE.TXT >OUTFILE.TXT

I hope this helps.
