Lines: 19 [-------------------------------------------------------] Assuming you're going to open a new cli window in your startup sequence, you can put "run dropcloth" and/or "run foo" in s file, and use the "from" option when you open the new cli window. Of course, then you won't be able to close *that* window, but you'll have no trouble closing the main window. This works for what I want to do, but the run-in-background program Eric mentioned sounds good too. Could someone email it to me?
