1) The example has a typo; there should be a '.' between the byLine call 
and the array call.

2) The example collects all input before writing anything (so that it can 
sort).  Hit your end-of-file character (Ctrl-D) for me to end the input.  
Or direct a file into the process' stdin (not sure how to do this on 
Windows, it's been so long).
