    Hi All,

    Can a subroutine be released from the main program
    to go off on its own?  (Is this called "forked"?)

    If not how do I do a `qqx` or a `run` that releases
    the program to go off on its own?

    Many thanks,
    -T

I haven't tried myself but it's conceivable that you can start a new thread that exec's some external program.


Thank you!
