I probably should have used |$R instead.  In the update I am about to upload I have tried to enable $T to take account of pipe codes in that situation. 

Let me know how it goes after you test it.  I didn't set up a good test for it as I am a little bit pressed for time tonight and I want to get through all the messages/tasks tonight.  It might work but could be totally broken too so keep your current mystic binary just in case :)

... I'd love to help you out.  Which way did you come in?
