I don't know if this is a bug in cmd.exe, but at least command.com on Win9x
does know nothing about "registered extensions" unless you use the "start"
command.
dir | start readFromStdin.py
This works but "start" opens a new window that is closed when the script
exits (you don't get the time to read the output).
