Myself, I thought he made it clear enough.  He's made
some progress with os.popen; now he needs to be told
about os.popen2 (and possibly os.popen3--my guess is
that's unlikely, though).

Victor, look those up in whatever documentation you're
using.  I suspect you'll find they give you everything
you're after.

Are there any warnings about popen2 under Windows Victor
should hear?
