Under SunView they'd be scribbled all over the desktop too, if you
didn't have that console window set up.  And under X, if you have a
console window, they go to it instead of being blatted out on the
screen all over the window system.

So, how do you create a console window in X?  That's what the -C option
to xterm is for.
