  20. Doesn't MPW already wait until the tool is done?  I thought it did.  If you are
  21. using an outside  program and not a tool, I should think that you could have
  22. the shell wait until something is returned, by maybe something like this:
  23. PSEUDO CODE::
  24. wait until (return <> "")
  25. then do ...
  26.  
  27. etc.
