    I was browsing my way through the Microemacs 3.9 manual the other
night when I found something called a 'pipe-command' command. "Well hey,"
I thought, "that looks neat." So I tried it, (^X-@), and I got the '@'
prompt at the bottom. I typed in the good old 'dir' and I saw for a brief
fraction of a second 'Access denied' before the screen refreshed. Has
anybody ran across this? I'm running in EGA 43-line mode, so I'll have
to try it in 25-line mode to see what happens there.

It does sound neat though....
