On Windows 98 first edition, typing the following in the Lua interpreter
(without recompilation):

  readfrom('|dir')
  a=read()

reads from the keyboard. Same if I enter the above code from the command
line after -e.
Were you referring to the interpreter recompiled with the special defines
for Windows pipes?
