Well, if you hold off until workbench 1.3, then there will be a standard
pipe-style device.  You could use the non-standard PIPE: now, and then
whenever 1.3 comes out, somewhere before the turn of the century, you
just make minor mods and recompile.  If you go and use clipboards, etc.
now, then when 1.3 comes out you'll want to convert to pipes anyway.

Of course, high on my wishlist is to have the csh modified to use the
standard 1.3 pipe, and possibly job control.  Would be great to pipe
assign, dir, etc. into more, wc, grep, etc.
