I am new to the X world and am trying to do something pretty simple using Athena widgets, but without much success. Is there any kind soul out there who can help me? I have a main application control widget with some command widgets. To one of these I have added a callback to popup a dialog box. The dialog box has a button to which I have added two callbacks, one for popping down the dialog box and the other to start another callback procedure. The callback procedure uses the input entered in the dialog box to fork a process and calls execvp. The parent is supposed to exit at this point, but it crashes, though everything works fine till this point. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks Ritu Kohnke
