Thanks, guys. I think I'm OK now. Here's what I did. I created an
executable file, named "Dialer.exe", using VisProRexx. I saved a copy of
it in C:\TCPIP\BIN. This executable file takes the place of the IBM
Internet dialer (same filename, same location) that Linkup.exe calls.
That is, Linkup.exe calls this file instead of the IBM dialer. Now,
however, the executable does the following in place of the dialer:

1. Calls the AT&T Internet dialer, allowing me to connect
2. Waits for me to establish the Internet connection with the dialer
3. Waits for the selected Internet application, like FTPPM.EXE, to open
up
4. Waits for me to close that Internet application (after I have
finished at the Internet site)
5. Closes the dialer, Slip.exe and Linkup.exe

Therefore, now when I use any Internet application, it calls Linkup.exe,
just as normal. Linkup.exe calls the executable. Now, I do not have to
manually close the dialer application any more after I've finished.
