Not quite, thanks all the same.

Well, that's why I'm asking ... it doesn't seem to work.

Yes. If I have to query several files from the token, and do some private key 
operation, it should be much faster just to do it than to call pkcs11-tool 
several times - which has to initilize, login, and query every time.
It may not be a time difference of minutes I'm speaking of ... but 5 or 0.5 
seconds makes a UI-difference.
