Subject: X terminal.


Is there a way I can execute a task and get my terminal back when I'm in X.
In other words I want to be able to get a prompt back to execute more
commands.  Depending on the app I execute the xterm will sit there and turn
into a display for the app running.  I want my command line!  ;-)  (without
spawning a new xterm session.)

Don
