Has anyone figured out how to get the dropcloth to run without having to
have a CLI window around?  If I do a 'run dropcloth' from startup-sequence,
I can't 'endcli' apparently because the background task still has the
console window 'locked'?   I have the same problem from a CLI invoked
from the workbench, and I haven't been able to get dropcloth to run
from an icon.

I'd like to put it in the startup sequence, but as I said, can't get the
main CLI window to go away.  Kind of diminishes the usefullness of the
dropcloth program I'd say.
