I use the screen command to start up virtual terminals. It is very easy to use. Quick start: 1. login to your Linux machine, make sure your terminal is emulating a vt100. 2. enter screen to start up the screen manager 3. the screen manager sets the environment variable WINDOW to the screen number. I use this in my shell prompt under ksh like this: PS1="$WINDOW \$PATH> " 4. create a new terminal session with ctrl-A c 5. move from session to session using ctrl-A 0 to 9 6.see help screens with ctrl-a ? Have fun. Rudy 4.
