I figured I'd have to either: a) communicate via a file, or b) go in and edit the CHEST source code (with Heiner's permission, of course) to at least show the results in a simple STDOUT "console" window. The way Chesty for Windows works currently does *not* involve piping CHEST's STDIN or STDOUT. It just invokes CHEST with a command line and lets CHEST show the user its output in its standard DOS window (with a wrapper batch file used to keep the DOS window on the screen after CHEST finishes).
