Can anybody tell me how to use the process routine in Franz Lisp to
set up a pipe to a process?  An example of it in use would be a big
help.

In the lisp library sources I found a sample call that works without
the pipe args, but I still don't understand what it is trying to do.

The system version (that works) is
	(apply 'process (ncons (concat "/bin/echo " PlotDevice))) .

Why isn't this the same as
	(process (ncons (concat "/bin/echo " PlotDevice)))  ?

or even
	(process (concat "/bin/echo " PlotDevice))


Thanks for your help.
