Today, while reading the apsfilter documentation (I'm trying to get my
non-PostScript printer to work), I found out that you can have more than
one  console by typing ALT-F1, ALT-F2, etc.  So I can read documentation in
one console, and follow those directions in another console without losing
my mind.  Pretty cool, huh?? :)

Anyway, so I'm logged on as myself in one window, and as root in the other.
While I realize you being root is necessary to get many things working, it
often makes me feel like I'm defusing a bomb.  So, is it OK to be logged on
as the same user twice, on the same system, on two different "virtual"
consoles??

Also, I know I shouldn't put two questions in the same email, but it does
reduce bandwidth :)   How can I change my screen font so that more lines of
text fit on a screen??  I don't need to be able to read it from accross the
room.  Also, how can I change my "scroll lock" settings so I can see more
screens when I roll back??

THANX!!
