Loop Servicing Processes

This Subprogram forms the other half of the minimal Process Server. It loops awaiting I/O requests from Client Processes and handles them as they occur. The Operator may use Ctrl-C (typing C whilst simultaneously holding down the CONTROL or Ctrl key) to cause a menu of standard options to appear. These allow the keyboard to be connected to another Client etc. Selecting EXIT at this point will cause this Subprogram to be exitted.
