  15. I am writing a C program for my SUN IPC Workstation, SunOs 4.1.2,
  16. and would like to be able to shell in and out of the program.  My
  17. program uses curses (Sys V).  I tried the following command:
  18.  
  19. system("/bin/csh");
  20.  
  21. When the program reached this point, it seemed to shell out (I saw
  22. the prompt), but the terminal froze up.  Obviously I am missing
  23. something with either C or curses or system() or something.  I
  24. would really appreciate some help with this.
  25.  
  26. Thanks in advance (and sorry if I posted to the wrong group).
