Actually, no you haven't.

No, this is not ugly, and in fact is a very good idea for _any_ XWEM
user to do... being able to log into another console and into
gnuclient is sometimes handy when you get stuck in XWEM.

lol! Jeremy, you're gonna love this because, this is _exactly_ what
you are doing. You are right there in the same instance of
(S)XEmacs. :-)
But Jeremy, full credit to you, man. This is a very nice way of
