In the UniData Command Reference you will find the following under PHANTOM.

@USER.TYPE returns the type of process currently running.
There are three types of processes:
- Normal terminal processes (@USER.TYPE = 0).
- Background (PHANTOM) processes (@USER.TYPE = 1).
- Redirected standard input (@USER.TYPE = 2).

@USER.TYPE = 2 is new to me.  The documentation describes it as
"Redirected Standard Input" which makes me think that yes, that could
definitely change the mechanics of starting a phantom.
