Ok Malcolm, I see what you mean. When ssh'g in the alt-f combo doesn't give me a new screen but when on the master console it does. Here's what I'd like... to have the most convenient way - w/o installing X @ this time to have several sessions at once. Session may not be the right word but still. The screen cmd is kind of close but the alt-f feature you've explained seems much better, easier for me to use. My workstation is where I've been working from, su root'ing when needed. Besides letting me work on one monitor/keybd it also lets me copy/paste from the workstation easily. But right now I've got the fbsd monitor on and the keyboard behind me with 3 sessions running. Nothing's perfect I guess. :) Thanks for helping me understand this.
