       Sorry to disapoint you, but Xoper works fine for me.

       I tried running Xoper with or without xoper.startup and it runs fine.

       I don't use "usescreen", Xoper opens a WB window and does not hang.

       I tried to run Xoper with the -b option, and it stays in the background
until I hit LA-RA-X. At that point it starts running normaly. The hold command
works fine too, and makes it go to the background again.

       I don't think that is the solution.
       To resume everything, Xoper has never hanged on me, does everything
the docs say it does and is a fine utility.
