                     39: A server is created automatically when necessary and holds a number of

                     43: linked to it.
                     44: A window may be split on screen into one or more
                     45: .Em panes ,
                     46: each of which is a separate terminal.
                     47: Any number of
                     48: .Em clients
                     49: may connect to a session, or the server
                     50: may be controlled by issuing commands with
