hi there,

i am having difficulties understanding the syntax tmux
new-windows command.  if i read it correctly, this is the
equivalent of screen's "screen" command.

i am trying to do the screen equivalent of this:

# -----------------------------------------
screen                  0 vmstat 5
screen -t "mutt"        1 mutt
screen                  2 ksh
screen                  3 ksh
screen                  4 ksh
screen -t "pflog"       5 bin/pflog.sh

select 2
# -----------------------------------------

if i enter the :neww command from inside tmux,
the window gets created all right.  however if
i have:

# -----------------------------------------
neww                    vmstat 5
neww                    mutt
neww                    ksh
neww                    ksh
neww                    ksh
neww                    bin/pflog.sh

selectw 2
# -----------------------------------------

i get syntax errors for the neww lines.
a huge .tmux.conf file example would be a godsend.
just cram in as many crazy examples as possible
to show off tmux's capabilities.  the man page
is simply too long and dry to get all the coolness
out of it :[   esp the pane/layout stuff is hard
to visualize reading the man page.
