In my original posting I asked how to stop VPIX from asking
    
    Press Return to Continue

when exiting back to UNIX.

The secret seems to be to run the output of the VPIX command through a pipe.
This causes VPIX to not asked the 'Press Return to Continue' question.

Thus my vpix command line which used to look like:

    vpix -r vpix -c /usr2/ldbin/make15

now look likes:

    vpix -r vpix -c /usr2/ldbin/make15 | cat >/dev/tty

Thanks to all who responded.
