Doug, that sounded like a reasonable idea. However, it didn't work for me. :) I'm thinking that there exists some binding between the Xwin process and the terminal window that started the process, and that perhaps I need to start it in a way (fork, etc.) that eliminates this binding. As I attempted to say, the bash process ($$) ends and Xwin lives on (both before and after I manually close the window). Thanks for the suggestion. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
