I'm not where I can do that right now but are there no commands involving the multi-tty functionality or some variables that can be turned up with C-h v? I mean ... I find nothing whatever in the documentation No M-x something. Is there no information about it included in the distribution of version 23? Can you or someone answer my first questions... are there versions that do not contain the multi-tty functionality? Is called something else... how can I look up documentation about using it?
