What were you trying to do?
	start another xterm


What went wrong?
	I forgot to start it in the background


What should have happened?
	typing ^Z in the xterm I started it from failed to suspend it
	so that I could put it in the background.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	Well I can suspend it with kill -STOP but that may be too
	arcane for most users.

	We probably want to document that if you want an xterm in the
	background you should start it there.
