Poor phrasing on my part, better on yours. Yes, I realise it's not layered
inside the separate interpreter in the native version. It's more the
concept of the console window as a window type that concerned me and fired
alarm bells.

I never meant to imply that he should start fP from inside that window. My
statement was just what it was--start a DOS shell, and see if that window
itself (not anything started from inside it) is failing to show up on the
other sets, same as fP apparently is not. My theory being that it's the
console window type that's not playing nice, just as it apparently wasn't
from that one web site that lets you run your applications remotely (can't
remember the name...check the archives for the last few months).
I'm simply saying, "Start a DOS shell and see if -that window- appears in
multiple sets or not." If it doesn't, then the combination of that and fP
not doing so would -seem- to point to console windows being problematic,
barring further information.
Sorry for any confusion.
