Cool! I logged onto one of the Linux systems here and found the info
description OK, but when I tried it out, I got an error:
$ vi <(ls)
sh: syntax error: `(' unexpected
I'll have to find out from the Linux sys admin why this doesn't work.
This would be great for doing stuff like diff'ing the outputs of two
commands.
Thanks!
