Sorry to keep changing my story.  I have now been able to get interest
events into my program.  The problem was that a newline was sent after the
string.  My program asked if a character was waiting and if so did a read.
If there is just white space, the read skips it and waits for something
else.  In other words, my program hangs.

The only problem I have now is that geomview isn't accepting interest
commands from my program, but it will accept them if I type them into the
command box.  I'll try to figure out what's causing this.

Thanks for all your help,
Gann
