I'm attempting to create an enhanced command line interface under PM.  The
obvious way to redirect the std* handles is through pipes.  However, some
programs check whether a pipe is being used, and react differently.  Is
there any way to redirect them innocuously?  I would rather not have to
write AVio DLLs (the way a windowed CLI works).

Thanks.
