Hi Bob,

Welllll :-), that's interesting.  From a program, it's easy to do the 1B21
select, as the system will store away its input preference.  Doing it from a
command line turns out to be slightly more difficult...

Partly because I check only for standard output's preference (I just changed
this, thanks for the thought!), and that was because the OSK shell lacks the
6809 version's ">/w" and have it pop
to that window.  The next line in a script file could be to winsel the original
window.. executed when the program dies, of course.

Let me know what happens.  Thanks!! - kevin
