NAME

foreground - requests that a process not be put in the background by getport while using the window manager

SYNOPSIS

C
foreground()

FORTRAN
subroutine foregr

Pascal
procedure foreground;

DESCRIPTION

The foreground call should precede the getport call.  Normally, when getport is called, the application is run in the background.  If the user wants to interact with the program through the textport, then calling foreground will keep the process in the foreground after getport.
