Lowell - this is excerpted from a 6.0 MP??? script I wrote for an
environment I no longer have.  Worked fine.  fd6 (execed from stdin or
another process earlier in the code) answered the "press any key"
console query for multiple batches.

  $VMCHANGE -multi_eject -w -res \
    -rt $_RT -rn $_RN -rh $_RH \
    -ml $_BATCH <&6 2>&1 | \
