If you just want it for the single liners, do this:

 $ PIPE WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "CLUE CONFIG" | ANALYZE/SYSTEM | TYPE SYS$INPUT

It behaves as desired when it knows the output device is not a
terminal.

I usually define symbols

 $ w:=write sys$output
 $ as:=anal/sys
 $ ts:=type sys$input

to make the command lines more compact.
