I already searched the web on this but couldn't find much. yes, the name window is highly unfortunate when it comes to using search engines, as I recall. Here is something I ultimately came up with, based on something I found...don't ask me where or how. It is admittedly imperfect, but it did the job. /home/nick $ more .windowrc close all myrows = $nrow - 2 mycols = ( $ncol / 2 ) - 1 window ( 1, 1, $myrows, 80 ) # 80 in following command should be $mycols, but we'll just chop long lines window ( 1 , $mycols + 2 , $myrows, 80) label ( 1, dvd0 (top drive) ) label ( 2, dvd1 (bottom drive) ) write 1 sleep 1 ; chkdrv 0\n #write 1, $mycols $myrows write 2 sleep 6 ; chkdrv 1\n it creates two windows in the current screen, with a split down the middle. It then starts a program called chkdrv with a different parameter in each of the windows. It's a starting point. And no, I don't really recall what the comment meant. :) This was for an app which burned a pair of DVDs regularly, and I wanted to have the final output of each burn to be left on the screen. I did ultimately replace this use of window with running X, auto-launching a pair of xterms running the app. I found it easier for normal users to see and look through the output. Nick.

I still don't understand the current craze about window, since it doesn't have the one killer feature of screen, namely the ability to attach/detach sessions at will... I mean, probably like a lot of people, my main use of screen is to have interactive sessions I can keep around from login to login, or around a flaky network connection. Nothing as unpleasant as having a build fail just because your network timed out and make got SIGHUP'ed.

Get rid of windows limit in 'window'?
I just discovered 'window' in base, a very usefull tool! I was used to install 'screen' to get a terminal multiplexer but as I found 'window' which gives me multiplexing without 'screen's' bloat and restrictive license. Just two questions: Is there an example.windowrc available somewhere or would someone be so kind a send me his own customized one? I already searched the web on this but couldn't find much. Is there a way to go beyond the limit of 9 windows beside executing 'window' in 'window'? Suggestions welcome
