Huh?  I'm an English teacher with an ordinary PC.  But now that most of us
are being connected to the campus net, we can have multiple logins.  I just
hit alt-a to open another session.  As I said earlier, though, it has never
entered my mind to do that while ftp'ing since ftp'ing usually takes no more
than a few seconds.
