I'm not sure if it's possible to do 4 "quadrants" with screen, but it *is* possible to split the screen up vertically. Does that make sense? Example: ------------------------------------------- | $ | | | | | | | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------- | $ | | | | | | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------| | $ | | | | | | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------- But it also has some functionality like the Ctrl-Alt-Fx. -Erik Sam MacDonald wrote: > I have a question about screen. > > Is it like using the Ctrl+Alt+ F# > or > Can it have a display with 4 sections. > Dam me for being a visual learner but I have a very hard time > visualizing something > I have not sseen with my own eyes.
