IMO using 2!:0 is also interested in its result returned in stdout. neither fork or spawn is a very good name for such purpose. Instead the original name 'host' is more neutral between result and side effect. 'shell' is also acceptable as '2!:0 cmd' is actually run by jconsole as 'sh -c cmd >/tmp/somefile' fork or spawn are synonyms although window does not use the term fork, therefore I favour the original name for 2!:0 and 2!:1 in DOJ. -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
