When you start a program w/o the '&', then inside the program you
Ctrl-Z it, then outside the program you 'bg' it.  While you're in that
same shell, you can 'fg' it to get back into the program.  Is there a
way to 'fg' that program from a different shell/term?

Strangely on my woody box, man fg or bg or jobs turns up nothing.

I was thinking it would be nice to regain control of a process by
using the PID?  Not sure if that's possible or not.

One example: If I'm running mutt remotely on my home computer, then
come up and want to take control of the mutt process w/o killing it
and starting it again (if I'm composing an email?), I'd like to steal
it from the terminal I left it open on.

Thanks,
Rob
