Back in the CP/M days they were pretty important. For example, to print a document it was common to do: PIP LST:=filename.ext to send the file to the LST (list) device which was typically a printer. Dumping a file to the console was PIP CON:=filename.ext PIP itself goes back even further to the PDP line of DEC machines.
