If I read you right, you are complaining about the ability to easily supply the output from one program as input for another program. This is so amazingly useful, such a wondrously flexible tool, that I am stunned that anyone could slight it. Compare this vs the monolithic can't-get-at-the- workings-of-anything stuff typical of DOS/Windows. If you keep talking like this you'll never get a free beer out of me! Stephen.
