I've got a curses program that hangs because it is run from a window. How do I get the user agent to give up the window environment and just run the application as if it were just a plain terminal? Somewhere I remember an easy solution but I can't find it now. -- --------------------- John Mundt Teachers' Aide, Inc. P.O.

Check out UA(4) in your manual. If you use the -d option on the line that calls the application from your ua control files ($UA/Office, $UA/Suffix, etc) that will run the application in a "dimensionless" (ie full-screen) window. eg: Open = EXEC -d /usr/local/bin/yourappl or- Run = SH -d /usr/bin/script hope this helps -Don

You can create an entry in the /usr/lib/ua/Office that looks like
Name= MenuName
Default = Run
Run = EXEC -wd /path/to/your/app
to add a windowless application to the Office menu. MenuName is the
Name you want to appear in the Office of {user} menu.
Hope this helps...Max
