DOS is a single user/single tasking system, hence the need for work arounds like TSRs to keep many programs running simultaneously. Unix on the other hand is multitasked, and you can have as many programs as you want running in the background. Just append & to the end of the command when you run it at the command line: eg: netscape & will run netscape in the background. or, if the program is already running, then Ctrl+Z to suspend and bg to send it to background. Oh, yeah, last point. Processes are memory resident, programs are just algorithms on disk. Philip -- Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
