Certain GShell functions like the calculator, shell and others allow you to
CLEAR back to the GShell main window and do other stuff with the child process
still running in background. I'm not sure how it determines the passing of a
child, since if a process does have a child and you execute a F$Wait, your
process will wait until the death of the first child process occurs. I would
like to know how to do a "timed" F$Wait, where if a child is executing, the
F$Wait doesn't continue to wait, it just returns to your program as if you
don't have any children.
