- My 3b1 has been dead for a while, but as I recall the <suspd> key will
- take you back to the window manager where you can open another full
- screen unix session to do whatever you want - then later you can go
- back to your previous session (through the window manger again).
- It's not quite the same concept as job control but it serves the
- purpose nicely.
