In IBM's typical manner, it's consistent. QUEUE: has friends:

CON: Display screen input and output
KBD: Keyboard input
LPT1:/LPT2: Printer devices
PRN: Current default printer output
STDERR: Standard error output
STDIN: Standard input stream
STDOUT: Standard output stream
QUEUE: REXX external data queue

You would not guess this from REXX.INF .

The hard part is redirecting the piped process's STDIN to your STDOUT.
There does not seem to be an analogue to the Unix 'dup'.

Took me a while, but I got it. Guess I'm not fully dyslexic yet.
