Along with the Spanish Inquisition, there are three! Three! Three options: screen, tmux, and the native solution of virtual terminals via Alt+PFx switch. This even allows you to use the mouse-driven edit buffer (copy + paste), e. g. if you need to compose a command line using the examples listed in the man page. If you're accessing a system remotely, there is also the option of opening -- FOUR! Four options! -- the option of opening more than one connection to the remote system, and each of them in an own xterm (or KDE Konsole tab which I would say if I had been using KDE, but I haven't). Of course, this solution also allows you copy + paste operations. Other means of accessibility are provided by the window manager you're using. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
