Not denying that. But you said there was "No mechanism even for multiple
virtual CLI consoles." That means, putting it bluntly, that it pre-dated
screen. I'm not saying emacs can't do it. I'm asking for verification that
it did it well in advance of screen which *does* provide multiple CLI consoles.
Personally I can only go back as far as my first unix experience which is
10 years ago. I know that screen existed then as I used it all the time on
Netcom. However since that's as far back as I can personally verify that is
why I am asking for verification of your statement.
