I have seen several people talking about using multiple login windows through
inittab. This method has the obvious problem that you have to login to each
to use it. A quicker approach is to use windy from THE STORE! The latest
version of windy has a -b switch to execute the given command in the back-
ground. In my .profile I have section:

-----------
if [ "expr `tty` : '/dev/w'" != 0 ]
then 
	windy    -n "Login shell" -l "Login shell"
	windy -b -n "Extra shell" -l "Extra shell" $SHELL
fi
set -o ignoreeof
-----------

The first windy just names the current window for finding with Suspd. The
second windy runs a shell in another window, in the background, Named.
This way you don't have to login every time. I can see how you might want
to have one or two of each; a quicky ksh and a login.

For those of you who are windy fans: There is a serious bug in windy.
