Often I'll want to start some time-intensive non-interactive task in a
listener and then switch to Zmacs while the task runs in the listener,
but the task in the listener usually stops running and waits until I
switch back to it before resuming. I've played with using :Set Process
Priority to remedy this but haven't been successful. If I set the
process priority of the listener to something really high then it
takes a little bit of time for the Select: task to run and get me to
another activity but once I'm in that activity then the listener just
waits until I switch back to it to run again.

Is there a way to make it more like running something in a Unix xterm,
where it keeps going pretty much no matter what else you do?

Thanks,
Christopher
