Hi,

Is it possible to have a program start with a higher priority when you
execute it from a shell?  Specifically, I'd like to run C-Kermit at a
slightly higher priority (read, it gets MORE CPU time).  I find that
file transfers sometimes fail/abort when I run a CPU intensive process
while C-Kermit is transferring a file.  This is on a 68030 NeXT computer
running NextStep 2.0.  This OS is BSD-ish and built on Mach.

Thanks,
Ralph
