I'd like to use only the second pipe (pipe-1) on our 3-pipe Onyx to
display my app, which is the center screen on my flight simulator.

What I'm finding out is I have to call pfMultipipe(3) to initialize
more than one pipe. If I only pfMultipipe(1), then I can't use
pipe-1, only pipe-0. And since I initilized all 3 pipes, all my
pipes are blanked, even though I'm only drawing to the middle one.

I'd like to have *only* pipe-1 affected. I can do this using setenv
DISPLAY machine:0.1 and running single pipe, but I'd rather have the
user do this from the command line, if possible.

Any hints?
