Dave,

Strangely enough, this is not the case.  I asked this same question on
CompuServe, and was told that waiting for the pid will _not_ work.

You must make use of the 'TermQ' setting in the STARTDATA structure
passed to DosStartSession() in order to find out when your DOS child
process has ended.

Thanks for you help, though!

Jeff
