The Effect of Child Invocation on Screen Display

Your screen display is affected by the way you invoke a child process:

·    If invoked as a subprocess, a child’s images can overlay the images of the parent process.

·    If invoked as a related or detached process, a child’s images cannot overlay the images of the parent process. The screen is automatically cleared immediately before the child displays, and is refreshed immediately after the child completes.
