[Gnv-help] VMS's sys$input != bash's stdin for trivial program?

[Ben A. <be...@bg...>]

I cannot seem to redirect stdin for a trivial program.  Here's how to
reproduce my problem:

Create test.bas:

---- cut here ----
declare string s

print "Test";
linput s
print s
---- cut here ----

Compile/link it:

$ basic test
$ link test

Then test as follows:

$ bash
bash$ ./test
Test? foo
foo
bash$ echo "foo" | ./test
Test? bar
bar

What happened to my second "foo"?  It seemed to go into the ether.  I
can't figure out how to get "test.exe" to read from stdin.

If I cannot do this simple thing, bash/gnv is useless for my purposes
(as a portable replacement for DCL, to be used on both VMS and Wintel
(cygwin) systems).  I really hope I'm just missing something simple,
here.
