Mike, I would have guessed the same thing...ex means don't have a shell run
this program, but don't leave the shell to come back to. This means that shell
can do the command line stuff for you (like pipes, and redirect). I sortof
assume that a chain() instead of a fork() is done (but that is a real guess).
Umm, to be sure, have you tried to fork a program with the ex and then switch
windows and do a procs...that should let you know what is active.
