It seems a bit hard to be sufficiently generic to accomodate _all_ the discussed possiblities without a rather awkward interface, mostly because of the question of what happens when you let-bind process-environment. Given that the current interface (without multi-tty) is actually quite convenient and elegant, I'd rather prefer we aim at preserving it even with multi-tty. -Miles -- Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. -- Steven Wright
