It's too complex for my problem (and actual slang knowlwedge) :-}

I do not have a bidirectional socket interface, but really two
single files (fifos): one for writing and one for reading.

The writing part should be easy. Here I have example code.
But how do I implement an asynchronous process which reads a file (fifo)
and writes its contens into a jed buffer, continously?

I have found open_process() but this starts an external program. 
I would like to have it implemented with slang, and no external code.

The algorithm should be:

create second window with output buffer
create subprocess:
  open output fifo
  loop {
    read line from output fifo
    write line to output buffer
  }
open input fifo
loop {
  read line from input buffer
  write line to input fifo
  write line to output buffer
}  

The input buffer is not stativ, but it is where I type lines.
The input and output fifos are already there.
