  Well, this is very interesting. I just checked the whole thing out again,
and doing what you describe definitely leaves the cursor on the command line.
Let me run through it with you again.
  1. I wrote a little program called kill.pgm and saved it. The program
consists of nothing but:
    BX d: Q2

where BX and Q2 are the regular pfuncs (created by going to the CMline and
typing pfunc BX, then hitting enter and the same for Q2. (I'm an old hand at
XyIII+ XPL programming and this program is completely standard, at least by
III+ procedures.)
  2. I go to the CMline and type
    run kill.pgm
  3. The code for kill.pgm being in the text window, I hit F10 to put the
cursor back in the text window. I move the cursor to the end of the file (which
means right after the Q2 since there's no final carriage return).
  4. I hit F9 to execute.
  5. The result is that I'm logged on to my D: drive and the cursor is left on
the command line.

  Just to be sure, I checked what version shows up on the log-on screen and it
is indeed 4.016.
  In case it's relevant, I'm loading Distefano's Smartset.U2 with F11 as the
help-file activation key. I believe I sent you my startup.int (which is called
start4.int in my implementation), but just in case:
 e DEFAULT DR=g:\,F:\XY ;*;
 e LOAD g:\nu4.kBD ;*;
 e LOAD g:\settings.DFL u;;*;
 e LOAD f:\xy\smartset.u2 u;;*;
 e LOAD f:\xy\xy4.hlp u;;*;
 e Ldprn f:\xy\hp4-plus.prn ;*;
 e LOAD f:\xy\XY4.MNU+f:\xy\XY4.DLG ;*;
 e ldpm g:\comp4.pgm,&x ;*;
 e ldpm g:\chgdef4.pgm,&1 ;*;
 e ldsgt g:\xy4.sgt ;*;
;*; e d ts=7di,12di,17di,22di,27di,53di,60di ;*;
 e d eb=1500,20000,cb=200,65000 ;*;
 e dsort h,d,r ;*;
 e d di=1024,2,1 ;*;

Note: the "settings.dfl" I'm loading has been modified by me. Do you need to
see it?
