    Something like this should do it:

    
        defun(CCSrunStrmout (lib cell view)
    	let((streamOutKeys templateFile prt id)
    	    streamOutKeys=ncons(nil)
    	    streamOutKeys->libName=lib
    	    streamOutKeys->primaryCell=cell
    	    streamOutKeys->viewName=view
    	    streamOutKeys->outFile="PIPO.log"
    	    streamOutKeys->errFile="PIPO.err"
    	    templateFile=makeTempFileName("./streamOutKeys")
    	    prt=outfile(templateFile)
    	    fprintf(prt "streamOutKeys='")
    	    pprint(streamOutKeys prt)
    	    newline(prt)
    	    close(prt)
    	    id=ipcBeginProcess(
    		sprintf(nil "pipo strmout %s" templateFile)
    		""
    		CCSstrmDataHandler
    		CCSstrmDataHandler
    		CCSstrmExitHandler
    	    ) ; ipcBeginProcess
                ; use ipcWait(id) if you want to wait for it to finish
    	) ; let
        ) ; defun
    
        defun(CCSstrmDataHandler (_id data)
            printf("%s" data)
        )
    
        defun(CCSstrmExitHandler (_id status)
            printf("Stream Out exited with status %L\n" status)
        )
    

    Note that I've not tested the above, it was modified from some similar code I already had, in order to protect the innocent...

    Andrew.
