Charles -- if you're using csh or some variant on it, you can always type
control-z to suspend your current job when you get a help request. Then, when
you're done helping, type "fg" to go back to what you were doing. Sometimes
you need to type control-L or control-R to repaint the screen; other screens
repaint automatically. You don't need two windows to be a helper (though
yeah, it might well be easier that way). Grex desperately needs more helpers,
that's why I'm saying this.
(To anybody else reading this who might like to be a helper: the command to
turn on your helper flag is "mesg -h y". You can put it in your .login or
.profile file to always be a helper.)
Re 48: I'm not sure the current version of the login program supports this,
or if it's an improvement Marcus is putting into the next version, but: If
you are logged in as one person and you want to go back to a login prompt
without having to telnet in again, run the Unix command "stty -hupcl" right
before you log out. That cryptic command tells Grex "don't close the
connection when I log out". It does work on the dial-ins; I think Marcus is
adding it to the other lines, but I'm not sure it's in yet.

Yeah, Valerie, you told me about that a year or so ago, but it didn't work
then, so I forgot about it. I'll have to try it again, if I can remember all
those letters. =} Still doesn't help getting the initiallogin, but it helps.
Thanx, glad to see *some* of the baff around here are still friendly to
non-baffers...
