 I need to run a program in a pad that creats a yet another pad
(grpahics). So I decided to do this.
 xdmc '(600,500)dr; (1020,768) cp program -n name parameters'
This works well, but there is a few small obstacles I cannot seem to
get around. 
  1. WHen program quits, pad gets closed but window remains. I need to
     remove it using the exit key (or wc -q).
     Any way to have the window blow from the display when program
     finishes running ? (I tried wc -a, to no avail).
  2. After the dr command above, the window gets created ok. 
     Problem is the next window created after that one is killed is 
     also of that size (small). Issuing cms or rm does not do the
     trick.

Thanks.
