Click?  I don't understand.  What does click mean?
I have a point-and-click newsreader.  I forgot people are still using 
variants of "rn".  :-)
Bloody people who haven't learnt how to use a keyboard - point'n'click 
this, point'n'click that.
Is there another way?  Oh, I get it!  You're talking about those 'mice' 
things.  I've heard you can use them to 'click' on the x-term you want to 
use.  How silly.

Actually, I hear that some of the systems with those mice things DON'T 
LET YOU DO IT ANY OTHER WAY.  I mean, can you imagine?  At least in 
X-Windows, you just use the mouse-thing to point to the shell session you 
want to use.  Can you imagine being stuck in a shell where you had to 
(shudder) CLICK ON EVERYTHING?  And imagine not being able to hit 
alt-function keys like use Linux users are used to, to swap between 
different terminals... o_O;  What a nightmare!  I'm sure those 
graphical-mice things will enver catch on, though...
