The Berkeley PTY's loop the pseudo terminal back to another device so that programs such as jove interpose themselves between the normal UNIX shell and stuff on the TTY-like device and one of their windows. The sxt devices only allows the real terminal to be switched between the set of pseudo ttys. There is no way to insert a program between the real tty and the pseudo tty. -Ron
