I hope there is a way to do what you want without layering more commands on 
top of gsh... I committed a way to pass in a script for gsh to run as a 
command line arg (not a file or stdin)... and you can put \n (slash n) for 
newlines...  if this is acceptable I can make some documentation about it.  
Btw, gsh is slow due to invoker, I hope we can speed it up in 1.5 or 1.4.1.  
also if it is preferable, we could have an arg to suppress the info at top 
(and users can already suppress this in grouper.properties)...  regarding 
GSH_OPTS, we can add that at some point, in the meantime, lets just edit the 
gsh.bat script (which is different than the example)

C:\mchyzer\isc\dev\grouper-qs-1.2.0\grouper\bin>gsh -runarg "subj = 
findSubject(\"10021368\")\nsess= GrouperSession.start(subj)\nmember = 
MemberFinder.findBySubject(sess, subj)\nmember.getGroups()"
Grouper starting up: version: 1.4.0 build date: 2008/10/22 12:23:16
...more startup output...
