	That IDIOT *!#@$% RUN command sets the process priority of the 
process it's running to -5!!!! Meaning, that if I have a compile running in
the foreground, and an ED in the background, the compile gets priority over
the ED.  So, when the compile stops going to disk and goes into it's "do nasty
calculations all in memory", the editor stops working until the compile is
done.

	My question is..... how can we fix it.  More importantly, I'm asking
the Amiga people to fix it in upcomming versions ...  the RUN command should
set the priority to ZERO... and not make any assumptions about the process
it's running (the current assumption being that any process in the background
is not as important as one in the foreground).
