Does this happen to anyone else? I open an OS/2 (4OS/2, newest version) window, switch to the directory where GTAK resides, and type 'buffer' at the command line (expecting to find a help screen). The program staalls (perhaps waiting for input from standard input). Okay, so I hit control-C and am returned to a command line. But the window no longer accepts keyboard input and it refuses to be closed from a pulldown menu, the task list, or any of the process killing utilities I have accumulated. I open another OS/2 window to snoop around and that refuses to present a command line, let alone close. I try this a few more times and the WPS dies (everything disappears and it is gone from the task list). Okay, so typing 'buffer' at the command line was dumb. But why won't OS/2 let me terminate the process gracefully? --David -- Professor David J.
