     I was working on a program to test out the smg routines  and
some other stuff and I am running into a little problem.  I would
like to have several  processes  running  at  the  same  time  in
different  windows  and  have  the  ability  to switch accounts--
programs etc with the touch of a function key.  I would  like  to
use  a  procedure  like  spawn  but,  it  is  not  as flexible an
interface as I would like.  The creprc system  service  gives  me
the  flexibility  necessary but, I cannot "attach" to the process
created because of some annoying cli problems etc.  Does  anybody
have  any information about the options PRC$M_BATCH, PRC$M_INTER,
PRC_M_UAF, PRC$M_NETWRK and PRC$M_NOPASSWORD??  These flags, when
used  properly,  will  solve most of my process creation problems
and allow me to get on to more productive stuff.

 I wish that I was getting paid for this work, but, nobody  wants to hire
    a hacker.
