 2 
 3 Syntax as a command:  new_proc {-control_arg}
 4 
 5 
 6 Function: destroys your current process and creates a new one, using
 7 the control arguments given initially with login and -authorization.
 8 
 9 
10 Control arguments:
11 -authorization STR, -auth STR
12    creates the new process at authorization STR, where STR is any
13    authorization acceptable to the convert_authorization_ subroutine.
14    The authorization must be less than, or equal to, both the maximum
15    authorization of the process and the access class of the terminal.
16    (Default: to create the new process at the same authorization)
17 
18 
19 Notes: Just before the old process is destroyed, the "finish"
20 condition is signaled.  After the default on unit returns, all open
21 files are closed.  The search rules, I/O attachments, and working
22 directory for the new process are as if you had just logged in.
23 
24 If your initial working directory contains the segment start_up.ec and
25 you did not log in with -no_start_up, new_proc automatically issues the
26 command line "exec_com start_up new_proc interactive" in the new
27 process.

30 If your site is security conscious, it may have disabled "new_proc
31 -auth"; in this case if you wish to change authorization, do this:
32    1. log out
33    2. verify, using terminal/modem indications, that the terminal has
34       dropped DTR and that the system acknowledged by dropping DSR
35    3. log in at the new authorization.
36 
37 This procedure is the only way to guarantee that you are communicating
38 with the answering service and not with a Trojan horse.
39 
40 DTR and DSR are EIA RS232 control signals that are part of the
41 interface between your terminal and the system.
