| Hi Eric,
|
| So, let me get this straight, you _don't_ want/need me to add the shopt
| but you would like me to add the kill instruction?

Correct, the kill instruction is more efficient than the shopt - there is
no reason to poll for window changes after every command if the interrupt
for window changes works.
