Hi Les,

Since you are not running SES, it would seem that any security issues
would arise from Lantastic. Does the author run Lantastic too?

Here is a quick and dirty REXX exec that will behave like TYPE but use
the pipe directly rather than inherit the handle from the command
shell by redirection.

  /* REXX exec RXTYPE.CMD */
  PARSE ARG Pipe_name .
  IF STREAM(Pipe_name,'C','OPEN READ') == 'READY:' THEN
  DO
     DO WHILE LINES(Pipe_name) > 0
        SAY LINEIN(Pipe_name)
     END
     CALL STREAM Pipe_name,'C','CLOSE'
  END
  ELSE
     SAY 'Unable to open ' || Pipe_name
  EXIT

Run it by the command

  rxtype \pipe\pipe_name

where \pipe\pipe_name is the name by which the server process created
the pipe.

If this reads the pipe and TYPE still doesn't then it looks very much
like an inheritance problem.

Regards

Dave
