Communication between Programs

Hi,
is there a way of creating a communication between a MMF Program and a Blitz Basic program? I wanted to use pipes, so I searched in this forum, but the only thing I was able to find was the console object, but I don't know how to use it, and if it is the right one.

I believe that there is a pipe extension. Check FusionUpdater.

I've never used it myself, but it should help.

The console object allows you to run a console application under a pipe, and retrieve the output.

But I have heard that the pipe extension would be buggy, also I don't know how to use it, and the program isn't a console program, so i think it won't work at all. But it might be a good extension to develop.
