How to open a new console?

Hello! I am in the middle of the wep-cracking on my other laptop. I have followed a guide so far, but I have one problem, I have reach the point where I collect packet data. I am over 10 000 beacons now, the guide tells me to open a new console to execute an another command, but how can I open a new console? I have windows vista and I use Backtrack 4 Live CD from startup and I ran Backtrack 4 in text mode.

anyone?

alt - f2 will open a new console

If you have Windows Vista on your computer, that means you have resources for the BT GUI, why use text mode ?

Because that's how all the kewl kidz do it.
I mean really the above post serves nothing to aid the OP in any way.
There are many reasons to use a gui. I will leave that to others or google to help you discover.
