Hotkeys to start applications?

[Dave L. Smith]

Does anyone out there know if you can start a process somehow by
pressing a key on the console while another application is running?

Probably not, but if there is a way I would like to know about it.

P.S.  A thousand thanks for the print screen help.  I don't think
I could have received better quality help anywhere (certainly not
from SCO, anyhow.)
