somebody asked over -i help exactly how one could make his workstation
console window reappear after hiding it. while "echo foo > /dev/console"
will do the trick, somebody pointed out that there was a "show_console"
command that will do the trick.
unfortunately, it would seem there would be no way for the uninformed
to discover this, since it doesn't have a man page:
% where show_console
/usr/athena/show_console
% man -k console
cons (4) - keyboard and console display interface
consoles (5) - utility database of display screens
crl (4) - VAX 8600 console RL02 interface
fl (4) - console floppy interface
speaker (4) - console speaker interface
tu (4) -/730 and VAX-11/750 TU58 console cassette interface
% man show_console
No manual entry for show_console.
perhaps a man page would be in order.
