A spawned process can inherit (system level) handles from it's parent.

Agreed. I didn't say otherwise.

It would be the parents end of the pipe connected to the childs STDOUT that you would then tie to the widget.

It's either tied or the "parent's end of the pipe". It can't be both.

Okay, now I've had time to look it up, I see that I'm mixing up the tie interface to a Text widget, with the Tk:filevent functionality. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
