hi,
a few questions:
1. How many X-terminals are there on the market? We have a Visual 640
for evaluation, and have seen the MIPS mumble1210mumble and read about
the NCD... whatsit. All of the previous are mono, are there any color
models? Price and manufacturer info would be appreciated.
2. I am new to X, so this Q may be dumb ..
Is it poss to create a screen on a Window "not" under your control?
ie - one you're not using. If so, is there a way of "controlling"
such activity? ie, similar to mesg on/off in unix.
Thankyou for any info,

If so, is there a way of "controlling" What I meant to say was, is it possible to create a window on another display, ie, one you're not using. If so, is there a way for the "user" to control this activity, in a similar fashion to mesg y/n in unix. I can foresee a few problems in a lab environment if this is not controllable. I have understood directing windows to other displays is possible.

Other currently available terminals include NCR, Visual (2 models), Acer-Counterpoint, and Graph-On. All are monochrome. Other companies (including a few big 3 letter names) have announced products,
