Am a bit confused by the terminology: Don't "conosole displays" usually run *under* x11? So, what *is* a "console display"? What makes a window (er, frame) a console-display rather than something elsed? Myself, I'm using a sunblade-100, solaris-9, CDE I think it is, and am using a "dtterm". Where does that fit into the vocab? Now, I can choose something called a (the?) "conosole", which seems to me to be just another dtterm with the *title* of "console". Where does *that* fit into this terminology? Thanks! David PS: I "live" in emacs -- start it up when bring up the machine, and exit it only when about to take down the machine. Even have learned how to use cursor-controlling programs like more (well, not that one, but you get the idea) from *shell* by simply piping to cat.
