Re: xconsole won't allow input!?!
Baloo, Shaelh, and David,
Thank you all for your answers. I asked this question to the list late
last night after I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get a terminal.
Shortly after I posted I installed xterm and I was all set. As you
all pointed out, this is not the program I was looking for. If I would
have checked the man pages I could have avoided this noise to the list!
Thanks again. I am self imposing a 30 minute delay to the send button
on all my posts! As I seem to figure things out after I send the question.
:)
