I assume a million ppl have already replied to this to suggest the ALT-F1 ALT-F2 sort of thing, but something that I find I use heaps is a program called Screen, which is especially useful when you are telneting to a Linux box. You can open multiple windows and switch between them with CTL-C n (where n is your virtual screen) - at least, I think it's CTL-C... It's easy to use, well documented, packaged for debian, and is a bit less of a stretch on the fingers than ALT-Fn damon ======== Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Web Page: www.sub.net.au/~tr It's not a sense of humor.
