Normal behavior - at least as I have experienced it on SunOS and
Solaris, and Cygwin until the December upgrade - is that the shell
prompt returns, and subsequent invocations of "nc filename" open
additional tabs in the nedit window created by the initial invocation.
At present control is not returned to the shell. Launching nedit as a
separate process by other means does not result in it acting as a server
- that is, a subsequent "nc filename" launches a fresh nedit window.
