Bob - saw your message to kevin and had a thought. Since the main function of
the shell is to take stdin input, parse it, fork a process, wait for it to
die, then wait for more input; you must tell the shell you're through with it.
In your case, you should send the terminate shell command(not signal). On my
Atari ST this is 'logout'. The shell should wait for the process to terminate
and then parse in the logout command, terminating itself. This assumes you are
not running the process concurrent with the shell, altho' I'm not certain this
would matter.

Hope this is on the right track. Bill Healton 73367,357
