Yes, If you use a terminal like VT330, 340or later there is
what VMS calls multisessions. Some fo the LAT servers
also support this with more common VT220s or VT320s.
I was added late in VMS 4.mumble and later versions.
This is not decwindows which is GUI based.
What multisession allows is several virtual terminals over several
virtual circuits using one terminal and physical circuit. I use it alot.

As an aside to the current VMS discussion, does
anyone know
of an equivalent to the Unix "su -" command for VMS?
At the moment I'm using an ST running UNITERM
hooked up to a
3100/30's console port so I'm stuck with just the one login session
at a time - occasionally I'd like to be able to flip over to SYSTEM
without having to mess about with logging out of AL and into SYSTEM
and back :-) Any ideas?
Is there a "screen" app for VMS? Screen allows you to use "virtual
screens" - that is have several sessions going on one terminal. You
page through them by hotkey.
