The tru terminal

how do i get to see the tru shell???
I am running x windows and opening up a term session, but i wanna see the true (master?) terminal. Meaning that if i was to run jobs i would see any job thats running (maybe xserver......) I'm not sure exactly what i'm asking for but........ can anyone point me in the right direction??

I'm sort of comfused of what you are saying to be honest

There is no MASTER terminal as you say, that doenst seem to make too much sence to me..

Although if you type ps -x in any terminal, you can get a jobs running listing

this isn't another one of those master/slave things, is it?

I need more RAM, cause it's kinda slow, but it works fine. Then of course theres Darwin in Mac. Real nice! I like to make mine green on black with a flashing cursor. As far as I know, the terminal in XP is a 32 bit app, so not really a DOS CLI.
