This is primarily a problem with VT100 and the fact that it opens a window
that consumes the whole screen.  But it doesn't quite consume the WHOLE
screen.  This is what works for me:  move the mouse to the top middle of
the window, hold down the left mouse button and move the WINDOW down as
far as it will go.  There should be enough room to scoot it down about one
line (maybe only 3/4 of a line).  This should be enough to expose the
screen's title bar and the screen's front and back gadgets.  Now you can
use the back gadget to get to other screens.  You can also now pull down
that screen to get to other screens.  I may have something peculiar about
my environment that makes this possible---I'm not sure.  But it's worth a
try!  Yes, my VT100 window has 24 lines in it.
