I have a couple of questions I am hoping someone can answer for me:

1)  Is there a way to run ordinary unix on the 3B1.  I mean without windows
    etc.  I would like to run things off the console if I could.  One big
    problem is when someone is logged in on say /dev/ph1 and they write to
    me on /dev/w1 you get there message ONE line at a time in a window.
    I think you would have to get rid of the windaemon and change the /etc/rc
    file and make the getty come up on /dev/console.  I havn't got it right 
    yet.  Got any ideas??

2)  Is there a way to reset your screen after running a program that uses
    a window and then exits.  You are left inside a small window with
    your shell, if you do a ^D, you get logged out.  Another inconvenience.


I have one more question that is along another line.  Every so often
I will be logged in doing something (nothing special) and the screen
will clear and I will get some kind of error message displayed.  It has  
something to do with the Filcabinet directory.  Then it disappears (quickly)
and I am returned to my original screen as if nothing ever happened.
Has anyone else ever seen anything like this?  Is one of the standard
drivers trying to do something in there every so often?  Any help you
can give me would be greatly appreciated.
