Yep.  I figured that out just after sending my message.

Yep.  I use that.  However, my process seem to block saying

;;
;; Process <name> needs access to terminal input.
;;

How do I suppress this behavior?  I tried

    (process-run-function <name> '(:input nil) #'procfun)

to no avail.

Would this be the correct way to produce that effect?
