Thanks Tony. This looks like what I want, except how do I specify a different 'myprogram' for each login account? For example, when user 'larry' logs in, he should run the 'partsmenu' program. When tom logs in, he should run the 'servicemenu' program. When root logs in, it should act as it does now, and not go to one of our application menus. How do we handle this?
