With regards to piping, yes this can sometimes be true. It's very dependent on the actual program. Programs on windows take a string array as the argument to their main function, so if the program is written in such a way that it iterates across every element of the string array argument and then does something with them, then this'd work. Most of the Microsoft programs behave sensibly with this, and execute an Open command against each of the files dragged onto them, but this isn't guaranteed to be true. I'd still like a nicer, general purpose way of manipulating multiple files in Windows. That does seem to be one place where it's definitely lacking, but it could just be that I don't know how to do it.
