Implemented.  Also added ability to restart the subprocess from the
Shell menu.  What's the Shell menu? It replaces the Debug menu because
it's doing more now, and may do even more in the future.  And the 
Options menu replaces Settings to avoid conflict with use of the
alt-s key to select the Shell menu....
