I am trying to find a shell or shell invocation switch that will give me
a shell with no job control. Why would I want such a thing? Well, I
have a handy utility called 'jwin' that does job control, putting each
job in its own terminal page. (xterm and most ascii terminal support
multiple pages). This lets me switch between jobs with ^Z, with each job
having it's own screen contents. Like 'screen' only much faster,
simpler, and lighter weight.
