[SNIP] Okay, so I now have a new world order for Shell processes. It also seems much more stable than the default RB shell for long running commands and eliminates the issue of the 1023 byte blocking I/O buffer imparted by the kernel on the /dev/tty interface used by the RB shell. Once I've added a bit more problem trapping, I'll make this available to others. It will work on Linux and OS X as it sits. If anyone is a Windows pro with a full understanding of the CreateProcess() function, it would be great to have your input on providing this functionality for Windows. I do have one additional issue - in order to execuet the Poll method, I've added a Timer to the parent window to execute the Poll on a regular basis. However, I'd like to add the timer loop to the class itself. Are there guidelines for accomplishing this type of thing? Or, is an external timer something that will just be a requirement when using the class?
