The problem with the "open" command for HFT virtual consoles is that you
have to explicitly open them before you need them. It would be nice if
they changed this so you had a few waiting for you when you need them, like
when your program on the original HFT is hung. Like in SCO Xenix -- where
if you need another virtual terminal you just hit the next Fnn function
key and you get another login session...
