Thanks, John. Didn't mean to quote you out of context.

I've just figured out one of my problems: Sometimes the spawned
process runs fine, it just runs to completion too fast for me to
do anything.

The 'read' object returned is nil apparently. I'm confused.

Example: I 'cat' a one-line file. Naturally it's very fast.

How should I handle this?
