Maybe I should add some more.

     A commonly-asked question from a BSD-kind-of-{guy,gal} is
"What's the equivalent of job control?", and the answer is always
"shell layers", which uses the SXT mechanism.  I feel that this
answer is in the spirit of the question even though it's only a
very rough analog.  *Some* people think that they are the same
thing, and that's what my posting was making a poor joke of.

     Sorry, Doug.

     Steve
