screen lets you have mulitple screens running and lets you switch between 
them, cut and paste and a bunch of other stuff.

As for the error message with the fonts.  I am wondering if something

Is anyone else able to run color on a IIci using the 1.3_alpha X release 
and the Xmacbsd.960512 server?

Sean.
