I don't follow.  How would any part of fP except runmenu or makedir
(neither of which are suid filepro) act differently from within SYSTEM()
from processing than they otherwise do?  In either event on SCO, the
programs in question run EUID filePro, period, the end.

Want to explain how they "act differently"?  Or are we back to the FBSD
thing now?
