        You mean like the "screen" program in Linux?

            there is a port for that:

            http://www.freebsddiary.org/screen.php

            in your firewall probably:

            pkg_add -r screen

            Let us know if it works.

                        Yes, :) after done message, exit terminal and then choose option 8 again.

                        After this you will able to call screen binary without full path.

                          Sorry about the http://ftp:// ..started typeing http:// then looked up the address and forgot to remove the extra.
                          You could have just removed the http:// and it would have worked.

                              did you do as marcelloc suggested and did an exit and return to shell to see if it was added to the path correctly?
