	Hello,
	Is there a way to run root at background without any graphs being
poped up on the display?
	Main reason I want this is that I am plotting hundreds of graphs

and it takes time, during the process therefore I cannot do other things because new graph windows keep poping up pushing the other terminals i am working to back... So, supressing the plots to back can also help me if there is an easy way for that. But if there is a way to run programs without using the display at all, that would be great because then I can run programs without X window.. and it might even run faster where internet connections are slow..

I tried "-b" option, did not work for me. I also tried "unsetenv DISPLAY" it gives me : *** Break *** segmentation violation

My codes are set in such a way that I need to load it with .L before running the subroutine because I need to pass arguments to subroutines..

Thanks in advance for any suggestion..
