Same one.  More v3.27 off the Workbench 1.3 disk.  runs resident, but
causes a checksum error under ARes, so I use the nocheck option of
ARes to take care of that.  I believe more uses an IsInteractive()
call to figure out whether to use stdin or ask for a filename...  And
it works with AShell and PIP:... sort of.  I should think it would
work identically with WShell and PIP:.  Try it.  (running it from a
console window will always make it ask for a filename, because it is
an interactive input.)
