The problem is that the spawnve() command is issued with the _P_NOWAIT flag which will not allow less to control the stdio. If this were changed to _P_WAIT then you shouldn't see any problems with less. Also, it would be a good idea to flushall() before spawning. BTW, since `cat file | less' didn't use the spawnve() it worked as it should have. == - \\||// -----------o0O0--Earnie--0O0o------------ -- earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com -- -- http://freeyellow.com/members5/gw32 -- --------------ooo0O--O0ooo--------------- PS: Newbie's, you should visit my page. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
