if you mean the terminal app....
once it's open do an apple-n to get a new window

if you are in single user mode, or logged in with no gui (log in as >console)

then type “window”

it will split the screen into 2,

then, to switch “windows” hit ctrl-p and then the nubmer of the “window”

hope that helped

actually, it isn't, if you are in the gui, you can just do a command-n or "file new" to get a new one...

however, if you are running it w/o a gui, and i doubt you would be, that's how it is for most *nix os's

oh, don't listen to spungo, he is only being controlled by those big huge alliens that are hovering over your head, but hide whenever you look up
he is just being influenced to distract you from them

Oh, that reminds me, I'm working on the expertise database system for my university, and looking at the search results for the public site the other day (which I've just implemented), I found that someone had tried searching it for "international agents"... do they think we run a spy camp here, offering degrees in espionage? ;-)

Yes, but in KDE, under Linux, I can click on the Konsole icon repeatedly, and get as many terminals as I want - though I'd rather use the new terminal button inside the Konsole, which gives me a tabbed interface to many terminals, akin the ttys, such that I can use Shift-Left|Right to go through them. To me, this is easier than a command or keystroke (though I usually much prefer the latter).

Well yes - the two applications are different. Remember Apple is designed more towards users who would never use a UNIX command line; KDE under LINUX is different - Apple's HI guidelines say clicking on the doc icon brings the App to the front (launches it if necessary) but doesn't open windows unless that is part of being launched.

Still if you want the behavior you described do this:

-Open AppleScript and paste this into a blank script

tell application "Terminal"
do script with command ""
end tell

-Then save this as an "Application" and put this into your dock instead of the terminal application. Each time click on this your terminal app will open a new window.
