I have a need to start a full screen program from a Presentation Manager
program.  The program need to run in it's own session, and not be
terminated when the PM app is ended (in other words, I need to be able
to do a 'start /fs progname' from within my PM program.  I am using
EMX/GCC and have tried both "spawnl(P_SESSION|P_FULLSCREEN,.....)" which
started the FS program just fine, but killed it when the PM program was
closed, and "system("start /fs progname)" which hung the machine!

Any help is appreciated,
thanks in advance,
sean scoggins
