	Maybe you can get tintin to work in the background of you reroute the
output from tintin to a file rather than standard output.  One way this might
work is if you have tintin set up so that if you run tintin it will just run
your procedure, then the command "tintin > outputfilename&" would work fine
in the background. :-)

	Get MacLayers for your Mac.  You can have up to 6 windows, I think.
It is available at rascal.ics.utexas.edu, in the unix/layers/MacLayers_1.10
directory.  You want to get the Mac software, MacLayers_1.10k_SIT_hqx, to
install on your Mac, and the UNIX interface to be installed in your account
or preferably by your administrator.  You can install it yourself but on some
machines normal users don't have access to files needed by MacLayers so that
your additional windows show up correctly on the "who" list, for example.
