That is exactly what I'm looking for, which is I believe how it works on other platforms. I'd highly recommend not being different from other platforms unless there is a very compelling reason to give new and useful functionality. I don't see cmn_err messages being "spread out" over multiple VTs as useful. -- Darren J Moffat
