  Kevin,  This is a program my brother is working on and I don't have the code
here to check, but I believe the way he is doing the fork is like the example
on page 188 of the Complete Guide to OS9(white book).
   He is doing the:
        os9  F$Fork
        lbcs error
        os9  F$Wait

   Are you saying that an - lbcs  error - after the F$Wait will catch the child
process error ?

    Ok, (waiting for the hand print on forehead to disappear), I in the
description for the F$Wait call, that the B reg contains the child exit status
code or error code if any. I can't remember if we tried that last weekend or
not, we were trying alot of different things and getting alot of strange error
codes.
   Thanks Kevin, we'll give it a shot.
