Subject: How to open interactive terminal apps with child_process?

Hi all,

I'd like to have my command-line Node program invoke another interactive
shell program (in this case w3m, but think vim, less, and so on) as a child
process so that it appears in my terminal. I thought I could do that like
this:

require('child_process').execFile('w3m', ['http://www.google.com'], {stdio:
'inherit'})

But it turns out that doesn't work. Is this possible?
