     MULTISCREEN(M)	      XENIX System V		MULTISCREEN(M)

     Name
	  multiscreen - Multiple screens (device files)

     Syntax
	  alt-Fn
	  alt-ctrl-Fn
	  alt-shift-Fn

     Description
	  With the multiscreen feature, a user can access up to ten
	  different ``screens,'' each corresponding to a separate
	  device file.	Each screen can be viewed one at a time
	  through the primary monitor video display.

	  The number of screens on a system depends upon the amount of
	  memory in the computer. The system displays the number of
	  enabled screens during the boot process.

     Access
	  To see the next consecutive screen, enter:

	       Ctrl-PrtSc

	  To move to any screen from any other screen, enter:

	       alt-Fn or alt-ctrl-Fn or alt-shift-Fn

	  where n is the number of one of the ``F'' function keys on
	  the primary monitor keyboard.	 For example:

	       alt-F2

	  selects tty02, and all output in that device's screen buffer
	  is displayed on the monitor screen.

     Files
	  /dev/tty[01-10]	   multiscreen devices
			 (number available depends on system
			 memory)

     See Also
	  keyboard(HW), screen(HW), serial(HW), stty(C)

     Notes
	  Any system error messages are normally output on the console
	  device file (/dev/console).  When an error message is
	  output, the video display reverts to the console device
	  file, and the message is displayed on the screen.  The
	  console device is the only teletype device open during the
	  system boot sequence and when in single user, or system
	  maintenance mode.

	  Limitations to the number of multiscreens available on a
	  system does not affect the number of serial lines or devices
	  available. See serial(M) for information on available serial
	  devices.

	  Note that the keystrokes given here are the default for ,
	  but your keyboard may be different.  If so, see keyboard(M)
	  for the appropriate substitutes.  Also, any key can be
	  programmed to generate the screen switching sequences by
	  using the mapkey utility.
