Try the attached change set for an example. I made a shell script that
generates output, named it "test.sh", and ran it from Squeak as follows.

	| proxyWatcher |
	proxyWatcher := ReadFromExternalProgram programName: 'test.sh'.
	proxyWatcher start.
	(Delay forSeconds: 10) wait.
	proxyWatcher stop.

The proxyWatcher runs the external program for 10 seconds, copying its
output to the Transcript as new data becomes available.

Hope this helps,
Dave
