[Coco] Fwd: Re: Redirection.

[coco at jechar.ca]

  OK I have tried not working so could you send me
  three things.

  1. A program "A" that produces the output.
  2. A program "B" that takes program "A"'s output and
     processes it in some way to produce the final  output.
  3. A OS9 script that illustrates how to use these programs
     together.

  Don't care about the details whatever is easy.
  Just need to see an example to understand the
  principals.

Nothing special has to be done. It just works.

As long as your programs use STDIN and STDOUT which are the paths 
to/from the keyboard and terminal display, they will work with 
redirected input/output.
