redirect eval output to separate buffer in lisp-interaction mode?

[formido]

How does one redirect evaluation output to a separate buffer in lisp-
interaction mode? I'm just getting started with emacs, but it's quite
similar to an AppleScript environment called Smile that I'm very
familiar with. By default, you start in an interactive script shell
there, too, and the first thing I do after a new install is change the
prefs to redirect output to the "console". Hopefully I can achieve a
similar effect here, cos it makes incrementally developing a script
easier, I think.
