How to CREATE a window
The command for creating a new window is 'xterm'. Just type:
xterm &
Alternatively, you can middle-click an empty space on your desktop and
choose "New Terminal Window," or click the "Prompt" button in the
GNOME panel at the bottom of your screen.
Note: If your workstation's mouse only has two buttons, pressing both
buttons simultaneously has the same effect as pressing the middle
button.
If you want to learn more about 'xterm', you can read the manual page
by using the 'man' command:
man xterm
If you prefer to enable certain options (such as reverse video)
automatically, you can create a file called .Xresources in your home
directory; the available options which this file controls are
described in the xterm manual. For more information on .Xresources,
see the Answer "How to use X RESOURCES" under the X WINDOW SYSTEM
topic.
