Ivew been playing with PIPE: in the soon to be release AmScript v1.0 (Just
finshing it).. The only thing I can do from what I found at this stage is
just to do a

Call Delay(<time in tics>)

If you find some other method. let me know. Besides that PIPE: handling is
fine. Then it displays the programs output as it happens fine.
