Solution 1:
Start the programmes "in the background", with an extra "&"
netscape &
xterm &
Solution 2:
If you already started a programme on the forground (i.e. without &),
you can make it go to the background by typing ^Z (Control_Z),
and then "bg" (ENTER). Sample session:
rulcmc:~$ xterm
Press ^Z here:
[1]+ Stopped xterm
type bg ENTER: rulcmc:~$ bg
[1]+ xterm &
Solution 3:
(possibly need to install "menu" for this) Choose "xterm" or
"netscape" from the menu, (in fvwm2, and most other window managers,
click with the left mouse button to get the window's).
Solution 4:
Well, I'm trying to thing of other insane ways to do this. You
_can_ also use "screen": In the xterm, type "screen" (if the
package is installed), and then, when "you cannot type any more",
(after you typed xterm without &), you can hit ^A-c
(control-A c), to get a new screen session.
Solution 5:
Well, I don't want to bore you with even more solutions. There
must be loads more (running two paralell X servers, more programmes
like screen (splitvt for example), logging in remotely,
and many I didn't think of.

Ah, that's part of my "solution 5", the not adviced one. You can
type "startx -- :1", and you will start a second X server. You can then
switch between the X servers with Contr_Alt_Fx. But generally, you don't
want this option.
