cp (create_process) create process, pads, and windows
usage:  [region cp [-i] [-c 'char'] [-n name] pathname [args ...]]



ARGUMENTS
     region (optional)
                    Specify the area of the screen where the new window will
                    be displayed.

                    Default if omitted:  use next DM default window

     pathname (required)
                    Specify the file to be executed by the new process:
                    usually a shell (command interpreter).

     args ... (optional)
                    Specify any arguments to be passed to the program
                    pathname.  If any of these arguments contains explicit
                    blanks, enclose those arguments in quotation marks.

OPTIONS
     Note that any options must precede the pathname argument.

     -i             Specify that the window created for this process should be
                    in icon format, initially.

     -c 'char'      Specify the icon character to be used in the icon window.
                    char must reside in the current icon font.  If you do not
                    specify this option and -i is present, the DM uses the
                    default icon character for this pad type.

     -n name        Assign process name name. If you do not, the DM assigns
                    the name "padn," where n is an integer beginning with 1
                    and incremented by 1 for each active process.

EXAMPLES
     1.     Create a process named 'spare' running the shell.  The -nstart
            option on sh suppresses startup file execution for the new shell.
                Command: (0,0)dr;(500,300) cp -n spare/com/sh -nstart

     2.     Create a process running the shell, and place it in a window in
            icon format using the default icon character for this pad type.
                Command: cp -i /com/sh
