:You have demonstrated evidence that:

:works?  I'll bet my UNIX guru card (#42) that it doesn't, or rn(1) has
:some very spooky code in it.  You are saying:

Oops.  No. Sorry about that.  I humbly appologize for that mistake.
I meant to say that 
s /dev/tty DOES work (I just did it to your notice) and
|cat works (I also just did this). 

My appologies for mixing-up combinations.  I think it's time to bring in the
old brain for a lub-job.

:I'd believe:
:
:   s /dev/tty
:
:and
:
:   s|cat
:
:both work, but not the "combination" of piping and /dev/tty.  It
:makes no sense.

:Still hanging on to my guru card... :-)

As Emily Latella (sp?) said on Sat. Night Live....

"Never mind..."
