Well I have a question for the os9 wizards out there.  Can anyone
give me a clear explanation similar to the one on chain() and os9fork()
of how to use the pipe calls in OS9 "C" and how to use the related
assembler calls?   If possible please include examples.

I fully understand the use of pipes from the shell, but! how do I create
my own inside a program I write.  As an example, I feel I should be able
to read the output of the dir command into a buffer in my program.

If it helps, I DO understand how the Unix fork() and popen() calls work.
Also, all the the above refers to OS9 6809.
