[Gambas-user] Running programs from terminal and by double clicking.

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Experimenting more with this... and apparently I have not used "For Input"
in any other of my projects.
Since also this fails:
hProcess = Exec ["echo", "hello?"] For Input As "Process"

So, child program does *not* have to be written with gambas. That was my
hasty conclusion.
