I could also use said helper program to implement a FIFO setup. I still think FIFOs, being files, might be a bit easier. But this *would* let me implement that interface in Uxn. It would require the FIFOs to be set up before hand, but still. I think I’d end up with an execline script that sets everything up then launches the Uxn program. Then that can implement the actual logic/control flow.
