EXAMPLES

The /etc/inittab entry

F2:23:respawn:/etc/getscr -g2 -x800 -y600 -0 000 -1 fff term/con2 con

would open a screen on function key 2 with x resolution of 800 pixels and y resolution of 600 pixels. With the default font (Topaz 8), this would yield 50 lines of text each with 80 characters per line. The screen would have a black background and a white foreground.
