Hi Stu,

Thanks for your suggestions.  Actually I don't want to use Ruby to deal
with the named pipe.  In Screen 2, I just used cat to verify that the
named pipe is working, while in reality I have the real shell script
which uses gnuplot and some other C code to provide some processing.  I
think by using Ruby to deal with named pipe, it will make the problem
more complicated.

It is just when I run mycode with pty and irb that the named pipe does
not work.  (It uses the absolute path for the named pipe inside mycode.)

Best regards,

Bill
