In V4 Oberon "par" is exported from which you can extract
"arguments" from a "command line", i.e. and text in any viewer, so
that one can do your piping.<br>

In BlackBox/Component Pascal one can write something like this:<br>
<img src="cid:part1.4215B55B.353F3437@greenwoodfarm.com" alt="">
"HostDialog.InitPageSetup; StdCmds.OpenToolDialog('Host/Rsrc/Setup',
'#System:PageSetup')"<br>
where the <img src="cid:part1.4215B55B.353F3437@greenwoodfarm.com"
alt=""> is a "commander" which when clicked executes the list of
commands following it. The<br>
example above opens a dialog window for specifying how you wish to
print a file.<br>
<br>
Many other command sequences are possible.<br>
