I've compiled a PD version of "yes" using the C Set/2 compiler ("yes"
repeatedly outputs "y" or a string until killed).

If I want to clean a directory, "start yes | del ." works fine, although
"yes" is still running in the background (not like in UNIX).

But "yes | del ." freezes the system; even the 3-finger salute doesn't work.

Comments welcome

Lucian
