"
    Instances of OSProcess represent operating system processes that can be executed.
    (as opposed to Smalltalk processes).
    Both local and remote processes are suported.

    commandString:
     If command is a String, the commandString is passed to a shell for execution
     - see the description of 'sh -c' in your UNIX manual ('cmd.exe' in your Windows manual).
     Regular input/output redirection and pipes etc. are supported as supported by
     the underlying OS's command interpreter (i.e. some limits apply to MSDOS)

     With an empty command, the shell will read commands from the passed input stream.

     If command is an Array, the first element is the command to be executed,
     and the other elements are the arguments to the command. 
     No shell is invoked in this case. Any redirection or piping can then be done
     by Smalltalk code (including piping through smalltalk streams & filters).

  send command's output to the Transcript:

  send command's output to my stdout (see console):

  feed it from a smalltalk stream, get command's output into a Smalltalk stream:
