    Patent number: 5337412
    Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, running several applications concurrently on a processing system. Virtual terminals are created for running the applications. However, the virtual terminals perform as though the processing system were a single terminal system. In this way, any application written for a single terminal system can run in this multiple virtual terminal environment. For interaction with one of the several applications running on this system, the real physical resources of the system are reallocated to the virtual terminal running the selected application.
