I would like to get a directory listing in my document by running ls
through bash.  I need to do it though bash, cause I don't really
want to do a directory listing, but run a dynamically generated bash
command.  How would I go about this?  I tried guile's
open-port, which seems to only give me the ability to send text to
bashes input, but not read bashes output.  (i think it should
allow both with the OPEN_BOTH switch, but I only get one write
port.  I tried that "multi-value stuff" to see if there was a
seperate read port and that didn't seem to be it either) 
open-port* would work as it takes args for the program, and i could
pass my input as a argument, but open-port* appears to have started in
a later version of guile then we are using.   It dosn't have
to be though scheme.  I just want the ability to type a bash
command and have the result display in my document, (without seeing the
command itself and other stuff (as happens in shell "sessions")).
Hopefully something I can potentially later macro-ize or abstract.
