Ok, thanks for the insight.
panel & disown & exit closes the term window, and I can't read fast
enough to see what was on the term before it closed.
panel & disown returns "Error wrong permissions for
/tmp/orbit-hersh"\n "aborting ...."\n
and then it stops right there, though <ctrl>C brings back the prompt.
Thanks for the info, and help.
