	Thanks for all the responses.  I wanted to use a pipe because
	I wanted to bitbucket the output of an RMBUX command.  It turns
	out that RMBUX programmatic output redirection requires a
	statement like   PRINTER IS "| ...   
	involving a pipe.  The final solution I used was 
		PRINTER IS "| cat >/dev/null"
