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.. Barry Hales bhh@ncsuvx.ncsu.edu Disclaimer: It's my fault, so don't blame NCSU
