[Gambas-user] auto detect pipe |

[Bruce Steers]

Thanks Bruce/Jussi

I think i am getting somewhere.
i now use a Wait 0.1 in Sub Main()
this allows Application_Read() to happen before moving on, then in
Application_Read() i set a string value.

then in Main() if the string value has been set then i use it

Problem was without using Wait 0.1 the Main() sub would run to the end
before Application_Read() happened

Respects
BruceS
