Roy I know you're not fond of GUI but you might want to check out 
SqEd/32.......squish based, REXX compatible and a great all round off-line 
reader.  Try it.......ya never know you just may like a gooey proggie after 
all!

Detach is the command you're thinking off........you can use it when no video 
or hands on interaction is required.  The start command just starts another 
instance of cmd.exe etc and programs being started by this method can be 
accessed, manipulated and viewed.

 RJT> Why the REM here?
Looks like a missing LF/CR.......if the cmd file was run with this actually 
setup this way, cmd.exe would generate an error message on the second line ( 
the " -fd:\max\echotoss.log" part).
BTW, good to see your interest in maybe switching to OS/2 is still there!  I 
did send off a reply to you concerning your enquiry in the OS/2 echo about 
making the switch but maybe you didn't receive it (??).......mail runs have 
been kinda flakey at this end for the last little while so maybe it ended up 
in the bit bucket somewhere along the line.  So how are you feeling about 
making the transistion.........are your questions being answered?  I hope 
so..........:-)
