Hi folks,

I tried both. xconsole still screws up the screen, xterm -C works
fine.

	Set xdm=YES in /etc/rc.conf

This was a disaster. The window came out nicely and when I enter
the username and passwd it blinked out, and came again prompting
me, and again and so on. I had to use de middle finger to reset
the machine! Is there anything that I forget to do?

One more thing, how to I set up the system so I can highlight a
line in a window and copy that into another one?

Thanks to all of you for the help! Cheers,

Dan
