While in QEDIT, I thought I'd see how the Posix tail program worked
with the '-f' option.  I entered:
 
        /:tail.hpbin.sys "-f ./FILE"
 
tail dutifully displayed the last 10 lines and stopped, waiting for
more records from ./FILE.  I then typed control-Y and got an END OF
PROGRAM message - because QEDIT terminated, not just tail.
 
This isn't a QEDIT problem - I get the same result occurs when running
tail from Edit/3000 and even through multiple CREATEPROCESSes.  They
all unravel back to the CI.
 
We're just up on C.50.00 and I hadn't tried this on an earlier
release.
 
Feature?  Bug?
