I can easily import while in Yarn.

Yes, after getting the time to test it I found the ownsoup stdout data.
I see now from your example I can execute another command with the &&
proc. this is probably what I would want to do. I have been switching
around trying several different methods to handle email and news, with
other News, mail, and pop server programs. Some mail I would prefer to
leave on the server while others I want to import or delete. I was
looking for, trying to create a way to import/export/redirect mail/news
outside or prior to import into mail and news program(s).

Well I still use Ultimail to read certain kinds of government email
and listservs. I use Yarn and sometimes Elm to access and create others kinds
mail and news. Partially due, because of, current cpu, memory, hard drive
and budget constraints as well as the needed features (functions and procedures)
between the different programs.

Thanks for your advice, I will try the && parameter.
