- Description : Sends the contents of the string input port to an output
- file, opened with a file browser. The string can replace the
- current contents of the file, or be appended to the file
- since opened during the session, as a log of strings in the
- network, controlled by a mode toggle. This is designed to be
- used to send command strings via a named pipe (see mknod
- pipe.file p) to another application program, where
- command input has been redirected to the same pipe. This
- allows an AVS user interface modules to control an external
- command-line driven application.
