I want to have a program start up from the CLI, but after it has started, I
want the CLI to be able to terminate, even though the program has not
completed. How can I do this? Is it documented in the RKM's or in any of
the Amiga programming books?

I have absolutely no idea from your original article what language you
are programming in. But, if you are using Manx Aztec C (my version is 3.6a),
a feature was provided to supply this capability. First, you declare four
long integers at the beginning of your program:
long _stack=<value>; /* size of stack to use, 0 to use current CLI value */
long _priority=<value>; /* priority to run at (normally 0) */
long _BackGroundIO=<value>; /* nonzero if output to CLI console is needed */
char *_procname="<name>"; /* string containing name of the new process */
You then link detach.o to your program, which takes care of detaching your
program from it's initial CLI, optionally running it in the background.
