i have to retract that. it just opens a gnome-terminal. you'd still need a window-manager to switch between terminal and pharo. though it seems like that is our best option: find a minimalistic window manager that allows switching between a few fullscreen windows... without a window-manager the following could work: use an os command to open a terminal. (either OSLinuxUbuntu or just OSProcess: PipeableOSProcess command: 'gnome-terminal &'. ) it should open the terminal on top (though i don't know hw it behaves without a window-manager) run tmux (or screen) with mutt inside. detach tmux when done with email. close the terminal, which brings you back to pharo. that way the terminal is not using up resources when it's not running, but mutt keeps running, and can be accessed when you need it. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
