Marty,

to switch between screens (there are eight pre-configured
virtual screens on FreeBSD,named /dev/stty0 to /dev/stty7,
stty0 being also the console output for system messages),
you use the key combination Alt-Ctrl-F1 to Alt-Ctrl-F8,
or Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F8 (the latter ones do not work if you want
to switch to screen 0-8 while you are in your desktop=20
environment or window manager).
If you started X-window,by using a window manager
or a desktop environment,normally it uses virtual screen
#10 (you can change the virtual screens in the /etc/ttys file).
So remember that in case you switch to any of the
virtual screens 0 to 7,if you want to resume your
X session (your window manager or desktop environment),
you have to press Alt-F10.

Best regards

Bruno
