Something someone in Development ought to create is the ability to multitask in the text environment.
There are things that allow it. I'm not sure about how convenient they are to use, though.
Screen, bash job control, x windows virtual consoles.
Tim has it. In the text environment, multiple text consoles work (ALT-F1, ALT-F2, etc.), the "screen" virtual console system works, job control works. There's lots of tools already out there if you research it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Swap memory error: You lose your mind" - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
