Hello,

I'm trying to write a PM program that captures output from command
line programs such as make.exe, etc. and put the output in a window. I
would prefer to be able to type something like

"make | pmprog.exe"

and have the program start up, and display the output. Is this
possible? I know that in Windows it's not, but it's not a real OS. I
know programs like grep can do this, and i assume they're just reading
STDIN, but how is this done in a PM program?

Can anyone suggest where I might go to find an example of this?

Thanks,
Kelly
