Yes, it works!  Thanks from the bottom of my heart for this!!!

Now for another similar, annoying problem:

I use csh as my shell (one of those old csh's from the PDP-11, pre-job
control, under System V).  When I shell out from Accell via push_shell$() or
selecting the menu option from the Development Environment, it prints a
prompt but doesn't maintain history; i.e. it's only *partially* interactive.
Adding a wrapper to the shell-out sequence (I save the original value of
$SHELL in $ACLENV_SHELL and set $SHELL to a program which repairs stderr and
execs $ACLENV_SHELL) does NOT fix this.  Any ideas?

(P.S.  I hope to be posting my modifications to the Accell text field hooks
posted last year in c.s.misc shortly.  I've made mucho fixes to the C hooks
and the editor, made the editor much more Accell-like, and added a new hook
for displaying multiple lines from a TEXT field in multiple Accell screen
variables.  If I can figure out how to do it sensibly, I may add the ability
to scroll the multiple-line version; right now it displays what it can and
adds ellipses at the end of lines and "[More]" on the bottom line when it
can't fit it all.)
