Your typing *should* be going to the cursor in the currently focused
(generally frontmost) window. If that does not happen with Aquamacs,
then your editor is tripping you up. :) (My own experience is with vi
and various Windows editors. To have multiple vi windows one tends to
make multiple term windows. As long as the terminal emulator handles
focus appropriately vi can't cause problems like this. :))
