>        print foo bar | echo

I missed "|" when reading the manual to provide my first answer.
Sorry about that.  But the above won't work.  What you really want is

	cmd = "echo " foo " " bar; print "" | cmd

Also, note that awk does not wait for the command to complete, yielding
results that are surprising, to say the least.
