[Scilab-users] Cannot understand scilex behavior when piping

[Laurent Bonaventure]

Thank you for trying.

Anyway, I have a virtual linux somewhere, so I guess I could try it 
myself with Scilab 5.5.2. on linux; if the difference of behavior 
doesn't reproduce, that would narrow the search more.

See you,
Laurent
