Aloha Seb,

Yes, babel is working fine and the sh block does its job.

The problem is that I like to see intermediate results in the Org-mode
file and the sh block works instead with files that reside outside Org-mode.

In this particular case, I'd prefer to have dot-temp.gv in a results
block in the Org-mode file, and then pass this results block into a
source code block where tred can manipulate it, and which returns its
results to the Org-mode file.

That way, the skeptical inquirer need only consult the Org-mode file to
be convinced that tred removed the transitive relations from the
digraph.  It would be an easy matter to compare the two results blocks.

All the best,
Tom
