Hmmm. For some reason, the version with 3.8.18beta specified doesnt' 
quite work. A different folder, labled Squeak3.9-final-7067, seemed to 
work better, but it may have just be "cleaner" than the other one when I 
started testing.

Now that I know that it works (I can even do a few simple shell commands 
from the shell window, whee), I have ot figure out how to use it. Are 
they any existing examples I might look at for implementing I/O via pipes?

Thanks.
