Your first suggestion:
"I" Exec xterm -fg `fg.sh` -bg `bg.sh`
does work for me. I should have thought of it.
It seems to me that with the current implementation of Exec I can follow
exec by any shell command I want so long as it does not use environment
variables.
As to your second suggestion:
PipeRead "echo Exec xterm -bg `bg.sh` -fg `fg.sh`"
This also works. For the particulr problem I posed the first solution is
a little bit cleaner but your second solution shows that PipeRead is even
more powerful than I thought eliminating the need for a generalized
version. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Best Regards,
Neil
