In OW 2.0, there's a NeWS 'pipe' operator, to replace that weird
%pipe trick in the the 'file' operator.  Is there documentation
somewhere as to exactly how it works?  It appears that if you do
something like

  (/usr/games/fortune) pipe

two file objects are returned.  The read-only stdout file contains 
the output as you'd expect, but I can't see why there's also a
write-only (stdin?) file on the stack.  I must be missing something 
he said, clueless.

More generally, is there documentation for changes since the NeWS 2.0
Programmer's Guide came out?
