- You may notice that some commands, usually programs, `hog up' the CLI
- window. In other words, once they have been run you cannot use the window
- for anything else until they have finished running. In some cases this can
- be quite a disadvantage. By using Run, though you can use them as they
- should, in a multitasking environment. It is best to use this command
- whenever possible to be on the safe side.

- Examples
-
- Run APRF
-
- Runs the program APRF
-
- Run >NIL: PP
-
- Runs the program PP while sending all its output to NIL: (See
- redirection). This is the best way to use Run because the program
- won't give you any "Press Return to continue" messages or similar.
