Hi Xworld, I am noticing something quite peculiar with Motif 1.0. From within my code, if I do I do a system("xterm -e foo &"); where foo is an X program, the menus in the current window of the "parent" process disappear and cannot be redrawn! Also that "parent" window can no longer be closed (with ALT-F4)! The child process however, works fine! Interestingly, sh -c "xterm -e foo &" works fine when issued from the "command line"! Pls what's going on here! Any suggestions will be most welcome! -- olu@sysauto.UUCP -- Editor MACroS: Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping!
