Hi Ed.
Have you tried background execution, i.e.
^Z

... For example, right now I have a large data
load taking place but I would like to be able to do other things with
layers and maps that are not being loaded (the load will likely take
about 6 hours even on my fast computer).Ed Davison

Well, I thought of that but if you have ever used v.in.tig.basic you
will know that it is a very "noisy" program and I cannot work with all
of those dots running by on the screen, even in the background. I
suppose I could have dumped the output to a file ...
Thanks for the suggestion; I will try it out next time.
Still, I wonder, how does tcltkgrass get multiple xterm sessions
running, though ... ?

you should use the screen utility. It is included in most linux/bsd
variants.
It is basically a window manager for terminals.
