I have just re-compiled my kernel under FreeBSD 1.1 and have added the
option NCONS=8 to the kernel configuration. The man pages for screen
says that Alt-F? will switch me to a new virtual screen. This is not
working. Instead it appears that some fragment of a previous command
gets grabbed instead. I would like to have virtual screens if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been running FreeBSD 1.1
for less than 24 hours but I have 7 years of UNIX experience under Sys
V. Please forgive me.
