I think I am getting an inkling of what you want. That said, your terminal is waiting for you to finish running J before it accepts any further commands. Hypothetically speaking, you could be running another terminal and then sending messages to it using some protocol (perhaps X window protocol, if it were possible to get at that mechanism from inside J -- but I am not sure that's possible). You might have to do some C coding to build a terminal that will listen to some remote message source. Alternatively, you could just leave J in the loop -- a simple way to do that would be to display the result of using 2!:0. Or, if none of these even approximate what you want, maybe you could describe the problem you are trying to solve in greater detail? -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
