Disconnecting from the External Foreign Function

To disconnect from an external foreign image:

which invokes the Text Editor for Disconnect From Foreign Image so that you can enter the name of the foreign image.

By default, the Text Editor displays the disconnect from foreign image statement, followed by a default path name.

To select the Disconnect from external foreign image at option, click after the from in the default statement to display the available disconnect prompts. Once the Disconnect from external foreign image at statement displays, the Text Editor prompts include the syntax for network connections.

If you select the per directory menu syntax when disconnecting G2 from a foreign image, the Text Editor prompts include both the names of any foreign image files (filename.fgn) to which G2 is already connected, and the network connections of foreign images to which G2 had been previously connected.

Choosing the appropriate item disconnects G2 from the associated foreign image.


Note: Disconnecting from a spawned foreign image kills the process. Disconnecting from an external foreign image disconnects, but does not kill the process. The external image is then ready for future connection requests.
