Just curious.  Isn't Alt-F7 supposed to switch to virtual
terminal 7?  Linux distros have 6 VTs setup by default, where
FreeBSD has 8 (3.3-RELEASE).  What happens if you enable VT7 (or
run X on it?).

I gather that, hitting Alt-F5 gets you the output screen in
RHIDE.  Again, shouldn't Alt-F5 land you in VT5 in Linux?

About the argument of midc authors regarding C-o.  Can't they
switch to a pseudo terminal before running the program, run the
program and come back to the original terminal?  Then switch
between the original and pseudo terminals on hitting C-o?
"screen" does this sort of thing all the time, so it's very much
possible.

I guess the midc authors are just being a bit lazy (it's a free
program after all), or more likely, they don't see much demand in
the FreeBSD sector.

(Who needs those nitty-fitty window shells, the command line
rules!  -- just my very HO)
