Thanks for the clarification DJ.  When I get home from work I'll give it a
shot in a test program and see how it works.  I'm hoping that I'll be able
to hook INT 0xEF and have all the spawned programs call *only* that hook
for communication back to the locked routines.  This way I'll be able to
implement what I need.  It should prove interesting when I use the EMM386
multi-tasking and thread routines to wrap the system() (or spawn() )
calls.

(EMM386 under OpenDOS has a built-in multi-tasker)
