        Thanks Mike, that is exactly what I was looking for... I've been
going nuts watching my favorite programs( currently dos [borlandc++ for
os/2 due to arrive on Friday]) eat up the processor time, and bring the
system to a crawl. Frustrating as a programmer to see your programs act so
greedily...
