Yes, Arnie, but the problem I have is this:
My bulletin board, BBX, can open on a public screen. If the screen isn't open,
BBX will create it. BBX will not exit without closing the screen.
So if you run BBX node 1, then node 2, then quit node 1, node 1 is going to
hang around in memory forever trying to close that screen.
If it had been written from the start that "Last one out turns out the
lights" then I wouldn't have to worry about this, but as it is, I
can't just assume the other BBX node will close it because if a
visitor window is present when the second BBX node is closed, the
screen will never close.
