Check out /usr/ports/misc/screen... I have only been using it for a short while, but it should do what you need. Here are some articles that got me started: http://www.freebsddiary.org/screen.php http://palm.freshmeat.net/articles/view/581/ ## more about a window manager, but it does contain some good information about screen at the beginning of the article. I have been using the command screen -D -R which I found in the man page. good luck! --- Troy wrote: > Hello, > A quick question.
