Jean-Pierre Radley recently encouraged and helpd me (on SCO OST 5.0.6)
to adopt a scheme of his to use ~/.startxrc to start seven ScoTerm
windows in four panner windows.  In those panner windows I have:

  #1 - One ScoTerm window (user "bob") COLUMNS=123, LINES=38.  Also
       Mozilla resides in that panner window as an icon, making it
       easy to restore it, cut and paste URL's posted here into it.

  #2 - Three ScoTerm windows (user "bob") COMUMNS=80, LINES=47.

  #3 - Three ScoTerm windows (user "root") COMUMNS=80, LINES=47.

  #4 - Three ScoTerm windows (user "filepro").  One window is
       COLUMNS=80, LINES=47 for using vi to edit processing tables,
       the other two are COLUMNS=80, LINES=25 to work in filePro.

The panner is in the lower left corner of my screen, with xclock just
above it on the left edge of the screen and xeyes just to the right
of it at the bottom of the screen.  These are visible in all panner
windows.

I was pretty well set in my ways in how I used X ever since I first
used it on Open Desktop, but Radley convinced me - through my tests,
trials, experiments and experience with this, to change my ways.

I told him it was The Greatest Thing Since Cream Cheese!
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I've attached a gif file showning my panner window for those who
might be interested in seeing it.
