I think I may need to introduce you to the concept of an "illustrative
example"...

And just for the avoidance of doubt:

*wget -nv --spider http://www.riscos.com
2012-09-21 20:44:51 URL: http://www.riscos.com/ 200 OK

*wget -nv --spider http://www.riscos.com/wibble.html
http://www.riscos.com/wibble.html:
Remote file does not exist -- broken link!!!

With the earlier version of wget, the first command produces no output
but the second does. The program has changed since then - probably by
someone who thought it was just an insignificant change which would have
no effect whatsoever - so that the two outcomes can no longer be easily
distinguished.

I'm leaning towards shunting all the wget calls into an Obey file and
giving up on the idea of using a TaskWindow altogether, so that I can be
sure nothing else can poke the value of Sys$ReturnCode. That would
still solve the WimpSlot problem and it doesn't multitask in the public
release anyway, so it's not like it's a downgrade.
