Sorry to have led you on CY, but

$ grep :== search SYS$PIPE
$ pipe type test.lis | grep "Bios version"

is best replaced by simple

$ search test.lis "Bios version"

use "pipe" only when the command is something other than type, such as

$ pipe @sda | grep lookforthis

where sda.com contains your

$anal/sys
set output /single
clue conf
sho summ
exit
