aha!  I had assumed it was like other shells and  was
invoked in the parent scsh process.

That explains 2 other wierdisms:

1) an (exit <val>) call from scheme code started via the run epf
does not cause the parent scsh process to exit (like expected).

2) changing a global var in scheme code via the run epf has the odd
behavior of the var not being changed later in the program after the
run epf is finished.

yup ... comments from scsh HQ?

thx Bill,
