I suspect Hobart is not telling us the whole truth about his experiments.
In particular we might be held in the dark as to which other operands he is
using on the REXX variable access stages.
/*

Signal on novalue
pipe='rexxvars|take 1|console'
Address COMMAND
'PIPE' pipe
'RITA' pipe
Exit RC
Gets me this response (as it should):

Detailed output from Rita in UNNAMED RITA007.
Adding MAIN to the rexxvar stage gets the same response (as it should).
Yes, RITA does run a REXX filter to process the output of RUNPIPE. And yes,
if you go out of your way you might be able to interfere with it, though I
cannot think of how to do so off the top of my head.
