OK. Can anyone out there tell me how the Text Tool set and the GS/OS
console driver interact? For example, the Orca shell uses the text tool
set for its character streams, redirection, piping and so forth. What
happens if I write a shell utility but use the console driver? Will
redirection work? Also, lets say that Orca was written using the console
driver, would all the existing utilities work?

Thanks.
