It works fine on AmigaDos 2.02 using the standard PIPE:.  Maybe we should
all take a deep breath, and chant "It's in there!"  Seriously, though, if
a Commodore standard AmigaDOS program doesn't support input from pipes,
send them a bug report.  By the way, someone else claimed in another posting
that More chokes on pipes, but it seems to work fine on the 2.0 version.
