Sorry to bother y'all again. I'm working on some things I haven't
much experience with.

I have an 8.4.5 BI standalone Wish.app that calls scripts, which at some pt.
try to exec the same Wish.app (i.e. open a second instance of
the same application) using either of the lines of
code below, but I am
having trouble exec'ing it in the background. When I add an
ampersand to either of the methods below, the app never appears
and without it, it looks like the exec never returns and the
child app remains part of the parent.
    set cmd [list exec [info nameofexecutable] sessionid 
$loginForThisSessionGl
obal $id &]
    set cmd [list exec 
/Users//robert/desktop/eztabWith8.4.5//openNewSession.sh
[info nameofexecutable] sessionid $loginForThisSessionGlobal $id ]
    catch $cmd ...
where openNewSession.sh is something like
#!/bin/sh
Wish.app/....../MacOS/Wish $@ &

On Windows, the first of the two worked as I expected but not on osx.
Thanks for any help!

Robert Karen
