the simplest way to filter text through an external filter is to
execute:

:[range]!{scriptname}

where {scriptname} is written to receive its input on sysin -- all of
[range] in your text will be replaced with the output from
{scriptname}

this gives you the flexibility to write {scriptname} in whatever
language pleases you, as fancy or as simple as need requires
