In response to Randy:

No, a "close all files" command would NOT be a problem.  I think I mentioned
this earlier, but all you'd need to do is what Orca, APW, and that
one other shell (I forgot the name) do -- INTERCEPT GS/OS calls.  Then,
you can keep track of which programs are doing what (by ID), and then when
a program says "close all", you just make sure to only close theirs.
Get it?
