Thanx for the tip but this won't do because it won't allow you to be 
interactive. Oh well, learned something new. It's for security reasons that 
it's not possible. I can imagine things causing all kinds of havoc if 
modifying parent processes is allowed: I think this is possible on MS 
Windows, isn't it?
