[Coco] OS-9 startup file question

[Stephen Pereira]

Thanks very much for your response!

Of course, I don’t understand this at all…  I thought I understood the pipe command that I typed, but this form is completely foreign to me.  Where do I go to learn how to do pipes in NitrOS-9?

Thanks again!
