   Using 'xargs' with FigForth to handle multi-lines of pipe input:   
      
   :) cat << EOF | xargs myfig "20 constant A" "2 constant B"   
   cr   
   A B   
   tuck * +   
   '." --> "' .   
   bye   
   EOF   
      
   --> 42 :)   
      
   I recall an old DOS Forth had -FILE and -TERMINAL options where   
   -FILE option was used for piped input afterwich -TERMINAL would   
   switch the Forth back to terminal input.   
      
   On Linux using Readline allows direct piped input but I prefer   
   just using xargs for piped input and not altering termio.   
   ( With termio's raw mode "Ok" is able to be placed on the line of   
   the last input; with Readline the "Ok" falls on the next line due   
   to Readline echoing newline.)
