Yes! A csh/ksh style bg option for PM progs :-) Actually, it would be even better to unify the DOS and OS/2 background exectution option (ie some DOS settings are more flexible than OS2 program settings). How about a priority option which lets you set all the priorities to anything for any program...maybe from ^ESC or a pspm type thing. >11. A shutdown with just one prompt. I am looking for a way to avoid >getting prompts from all the running applications and telling each one that >yes, I want its window closed. Or perhaps there is a way to do this and I >should read manuals? Yes! A list of running programs and *one* prompt to kill all of them and shutdown. This is similar to a delete file-list type thing (Are you sure you want to delete: A,B,C,D,E,...?!). * * * * * =================== Internet mig@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu * * * * * * == Meir I.
