And, the screen program might give you a bit of convenience. If you find yourself opening multiple sessions to the same UNIX/Linux box, you might want to look into screen, which enables you to create and switch between multiple sessions. I'm a command-line kind of person and I use screen heavily, even on my local machine, where instead of opening multiple xterm (Eterm, konsole, whatever) windows, I use screen create multiple sessions in a single window. For more on screen, do "man screen" and look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
