Well it's not going too well.

I got this far but of course (I can say that now) 
the `{..} doesn't return until $netdir/data sends an eof
and then prints each line

ifs='
'
for (k in `{ cat $netdir/data }) {
    echo $k 
} 


so how do i read a line at a time before `{..} closes it's stdout?

once I've cracked that it's just about finished
