If I'm running tip in a window, and kill the window without exiting tip correctly, It locks up so that no one else can use it. ie it leaves defunct processes I can't get rid of without rebooting the machine. Does anyone know why this happens or any way(s) to prevent it? I'm runing Sun OS 4.1.1 -- Debbie McGlade Secretary, ODU ACM
