> I'm trying to move beyond apprentice plumbing and develop some

> heavy spec manipulation. But I find myself ending a pipe, saving the
> stream to disk, and dropping back into rexx to do things. What is the
> proper way, based on data flowing through a pipe, to manipulate the
> environment outside the pipe, using things such as CP and CMS commands,
> while keeping the records flowing? For example, TAPE manipulation,
> LINKing disks, setting up the device you're going to drive, etc. I've
> looked through the Author's Edition, but can't really figure it out. Is
