The closest thing to pipes in a GUI environment which I've found is ARexx on
the Amiga. The very nature of most GUI programs makes pipes unworkable, but
ARexx allows inter-procedure scripting, so that results may be forwarded
between programs. OLE and similar embedding techniques in MacOS and Windows,
if they'd have caught on, might provide something similar.
