Is it possible to place a running program (in csh or sh, I don't care) in 
the background, or suspend it somehow, and then adopt this program from 
another shell?  In particular, I would like to rlogin from another physical
location and adopt the program I left running. I have read the man  pages on
csh wrt "jobs", but I have been unable to get it to work. Note that I want to
do the "adoption" from a *different* login session.

Btw, I am using HPUX 6.5 on an HP9000. Please email any responses to 

                          pantages@bnr.ca

Thanks, in advance, (even if you tell me that it is impossible)
