[Gambas-user] Closing Process input stream

Hi,

I just tried to feed a Python script to Gimp from within a Gambas project.
It didn't really work out that easily because Gimp wants to read the script
from standard input (AFAIK it does not recognise a path to the script file).
So I have to File.Load the script and Print it to the Gimp process. To
signal that the script is complete, I have to close the Gimp process input
stream. The only way I can do this is via

  Close #hGimp

but this line also closes the output stream so that I can't get status
reports from my script.

Have I overlooked something? I remember hitting the same problem in the past
with other programs. It would surely be useful to be able to only close the
input stream of a child process.

Regards,
Tobi
