The Subject says pretty well what I want: to redirect the
output from, or input to, a program run from one of the
spawnxx() functions.  Can it be done?

As an example, suppose your program spawned a program that
might need a long list of files and that doesn't in its own
design take a command line option giving a file name of a
file containing those file names.  If one could redirect
such a file into the program, one might avoid rerunning
the spawned program over and over until the list of files
is exhausted.

I'm using TC2/MSC6.

Thanks in advance for any ideas and comments, yea or nea.
