If anyone is interested, I have a couple command files that simulate
pipes.  The basic command is: @PIPE command | command ...
It is just a hack, but is does allow me to pipe my directory listing
through type/page.  As seems to be the convention, I will post the
com files to the network if enough people are interested.
