I've not really followed this thread, but if this is
the Gordon Bell book you can pass the time
by reading the online version:
http://www.ulib.org/webRoot/Books/Saving_Bell_Books/
Not as convenient as a hardback copy,
but probably easier to obtain!

I forget the specific incantation It's been years since I had
to set it on my systems.
Yes, the vt420 supports it.
The F3 or was it F4 key selects between sessions.
Each session can be the same or a different account.
NOTE: the Vt420 supported both multisessions over one line
and multisessions over multiple lines(same for VT340).

Have you tried screen? :) Seriously, It's a GNU app, maybe somebody
put conditionals in for VMS. It would take a bit of work.
I have considered trying that, myself, if it's not already done,
but it would have to wait until my Cthugha on IRIX is working
solidly, putting it somewhere ahead of TERM on the UnixPC in the
project pipeline ;)
You can use spawn/nowait to run stuff "in the background," somewhat
like the Unix "thing &" -- you can even use SET PROCESS (I think)
to switch between foreground and background jobs, and EVE will let
you at least run DCL commands in a window. I'm not sure whether
you can have more than one DCL command in different windows at
the same time, but I don't see why not.
At any rate, the best bet if you really want "screen" is to
try running "screen" on it. :)

That's it all right; dual 5" floppies, 16K SRAM, OS in ROM, RS232
& Parallel, and lots of optional modules for developing, emulating
& programming R6500 stuff & the R6500/1 single-chip micros.

D'oh.
Wasn't that the 'big' development system from Rockwell
for the 6502 - before the AIM ? I think I remember something
like that.

I haven't seen this yet. Can I do that on my vt420?
Just how would I go about it?

Yup, paid my money ...and waited...and waited! Worth it in the end.

Can't remember - did Sinclair license the technology to ICL and *cough* BT?
Would the Merlin Tonto and ICL OPD (one per desk) have covered off the
professional market perhaps?
For those of us that were serious about computing, that didn't have access
to the kind of money a PC or Mac cost, the QL was a godsend. 68k assembler
was a bit of a jmp after Z80 though!

Yup. NDC Multisessions does an excellent job of that, but it's not
cheap......

Y'all,
I was at a thrift store this evening and they have the aforementioned
still in the shrinkwrap for $10. Oh, yeah, it's the CD-ROM, not
floppies (did Connect even come in floppies?). I already have the blue
version, so if anybody wants it for $15 + shipping, I'll go get it.
First ask gets it. Don't forget, it weighs a couple of pounds....
Shipping will likely be $6-$10 stateside.
That's right, I intend to make the lordly sum of about $4 for the trip
into town. :)

If anyone has a copy of Turbo BASIC with manual I'd like to buy one . . .

No, it was incredible. Removing the constraints of using line numbers was
a huge improvement on its own. Allowing variables local to a function or
procedure was a nice bonus as well.

Turbo BASIC also has an interpretive mode.
