I looked to hastely at my WShell, Conman, PIP: documents, to clear up my 
incorrect statement here is a quote from Bill Hawes' manual entry for piping
in his WShell document.  

"9-1 The PIP: Handler

Since piping must look like ordinary input or output to the reader and
writer programs, respectively, the piping must be processed by and AmigaDOS
handler.  The WShell uses the pipe handler implemented as part of ConMan.  This
handler is named PIP: and must be mounted before the piping facility can
be used."
