Now how did you know that?? <grin> or better phrased........ "Where did you learn that?"
I had "assumed" that a terminal just worked like that..... didn't realize that the & after the command would free the terminal.........I had been opening up several terminals when using black box to start the programs that were not set into the menu (was just to lazy to put them in the blackbox menu:) ......... A cool tip that I wasn't even looking for.......... just thought I would say thanks! :) -- Dave Crouse www.iowawebmasters.com Running Mandrake 8.1 IBM Intellistation E Pro 450 mghz 750 mb ram ------------------------------------------------------ On Wednesday 20 February 2002 11:44 am, you wrote: > On Wed, 20 Feb 2002, Paul Kraus wrote: > > >%_If I launch a program for a terminal session is there some way > > > to load > > > > it so that it doesn't keep the terminal frozen until it is > > closed?
