After getting great response, I thought I would summarise the responses on
the net.

It seems that even if you RUN a process, that process still wants to keep a
window open for I/O.  The pd utility RUNBACK, on fish disk 65 (and an update
on fish disk 73, i think) will run a process independent of the cli.

I would like to thank everyone that responded, and also Mr. Dillon for his
startup-sequence..
