However when I spawn out of GNUEmacs, {C-x, C-z} I can set mine if the top process had SETPRV too. Is there a way that the privs for others are mapped into their sub-process without changing their privs to DEFAULT ? Or are they doing something wrong when they run a MORE_PRIV.COM which simply is SET PROC/PRIVS=whatever Anil Khullar {Ph.D. Prog in Psychology C.U.N.Y. Grad.
