	Neither adding WRITE to the OPEN statement, nor adding FLUSH after print 
#outfile statements worked.  It finally worked when I redirected the SHELL 
command's standard-input to /dev/null:

Original, didn't work:

This made it work:
      ' Run second program...
      Second2Main = SHELL "gbx2 secondprog < /dev/null" FOR READ WRITE
