There's one trick. If you type alt-F2 you'll get a new console window so you don't have to quit and restart Sage. If you type alt-F1 you get back the original one. Thus way you can have one session with an editor and one with Sage running. In fact you can use alt-F3, alt-f4, etc. Here F2 means "function key 2".
