Well... pretty standard stuff. Any command that writes its output to 'the screen' is writing to stdout. That output stream is what the stage consumes when the filter option is enabled.

... and when you specify a Filter Command, the stage reads that stdout file unit rather than whatever is mentioned in the File property.

Which I did mention, just without the "rather than" part. Thanks.
