Peter,

Your sample filter is almost exactly what I have already written. I
don't see what the difference is between:

c:\> bar | myfilter

and

c:\> cmd /c bar | myfilter

They both run bar.exe, take the output from it, then use that output as
input to myfilter.cmd. What I want to know is how I can write
myfilter.cmd so that the REXX .cmd file runs bar.exe, then takes the
output from that command for further processing. I suppose that I
could write a second command file myfilter2.cmd:

/* myfilter2.cmd to invoke bar and myfitler.cmd */
'bar | cmd /c myfilter.cmd'
exit

Seems like a crude hack to me.
