Hi, Jonathan.
Thanks, but I already understand pseudo terminals. The thing is that I only
have one Konsole window open, at the time. That window should,
theoretically, be pts/0. Instead, it's pts/1, and there's a pts/0 supposedly
open, but it's not something that I manually opened up, and it says that I'm
running /bin/cat.
Someone else mentioned kwrited, but I don't know what that is, and at
present, there does not appear to be a man page on my system to tell me what
kwrite or kwrited is or does.
