What is really sent to the process is not a symbol but a string; instead of testing for 'exit, what I should have been testing for in my sentinel was (string-equal stat "finished\n"). Sort of odd that the newline is in there, but it is. Boy, do I feel stupid. -- tale@rpitsmts.bitnet, tale%mts@itsgw.rpi.edu, tale@pawl.rpi.edu
