You can actually do this with more than one process, however, to find
out what apps you've halted, run  'jobs' There is a number in backets,
here's an example

[EMAIL PROTECTED] disciplezero $ jobs
[1]-  Stopped                 cat
[2]+  Stopped                 vi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] disciplezero $

if I type fg, it starts up whatever has the plus (or bg for that matter)
then what if I want to start up the first one?? Simple type %1. The way
it works is you type percent followed by the job number.

Enjoy
