Fixed, it was forking.

I added a second (optional) parameter to RunProgramRedir. It should be an
string containing the text to send to the external program.
I tested it with "recode ISO8859-1..html" and worked really nice. I added
an example to macros.slp.
I also created a MessageBox command, in the example is used to indicate to
the user that some text must be selected first (the text that we'll send to
the external filter).
