New Terminal

Select the New Terminal option to open a new terminal window. The new window is immediately connected to the same remote host computer as the current window, saving you the trouble of authenticating yourself again.

Multiple windows to a single connection allow you to for example debug your code in one window, execute it in another, display reference information in a third one and read your mail in a fourth window.

The sequence number of each window is displayed on the window's title bar, in front of the remote host computer's name. For example, a second window associated with a connection to a host computer called 'remote' would display as 2:remote.

To close any extra windows when you no longer need them, click on the X-shaped close window button located on the window's title bar on the upper right hand corner of the window. Do not click on the Disconnect button or select the Disconnect option from the File menu, as this would close the connection in all windows associated with this particular connection.
