Sounds like you're one of the unwashed masses who has trouble >separating *Operating Systems* from *Command Interpeters*. I'm running a UNIX shell clone on my Amiga... which has a default command interpreter with fairly DCL-ish behaviour. Sure, you can do it... but since most programs don't assume their output will be parsed by other programs it's not nearly as useful as on UNIX. Some things are synergistic when they're available from scratch... UNIX I/O redirection is one of them.
