I've been able to start 4 programs at once in text mode, but I'd like to be able to split the screen into 4 separate windows, each with it's own output (upper left 1/4, upper right 1/4, bottom left 1/4, and bottom right 1/4).

I started trying with 'newwin':
Code:
newwin(12, 39, 0, 0)
newwin(12, 39, 0, 40)
newwin(12, 39, 13, 0)
newwin(12, 39, 13, 40)
But I'm getting syntax errors.

Somebody suggested 'xterm -e program', so I tried:
Code:
xterm -e ./1.sh &
xterm -e ./2.sh &
xterm -e ./3.sh &
xterm -e ./4.sh
But now it tells me 'xterm command not found' - is xterm not usable in knoppix?

Or, is there a different way I should be trying?

thanks in advance
