------------------------  PIPING ("|") - A DOS Feature  ------------------------

PIPING allows programs to be chained together with automatic redirection of the
   screen output of one program as the keyboard input to another program.

FORMAT:   |

REMARKS:

   The bar |, which activates piping, is placed between commands.  DOS uses
   special temporary files of the name %PIPEx.$$$ to pass screen output to the
   chained program.

EXAMPLES:

Display sorted information for the current directory on the default drive.  The
screen output of the DIR command is passed as keyboard input to the SORT
command:

           DIR | SORT     or     DIR|SORT    (spaces around | are optional)


Display the file MYFILE and pause when the screen is full.  MYFILE is in the
current directory on the default drive:

           TYPE MYFILE | MORE


Display the directory information for files in the current directory of the
default drive that have the string "FY85" in the filename or filename extension.
Sort the display by filename/extension and present it one full screen at a time:

           DIR | FIND "FY85" | SORT | MORE
