FYI, if anyone is interested.

The product that supplies the TSOe PIPE command:

5655-D45 IBM Batchpipes for OS/390 Version 2 Release 1

http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=dd&subtype=sm&htmlfid=897/ENUS5655-D45#Header_11

The documentation is still in BookManager format:

It wont happen. IIRC, TSO is basically in lock down with no budget to do 
anything. I would rather vote for REXX to be refactored so it's not so much of
