I don't understand exactly what you wish to accomplish, there is a terminal icon inside of Backtrack on the toolbar.

thanks for your reply...i cant see a terminal icon..is that because i launched backtrack in the wrong mode or something..?basically i want to keep the information i have open so i can refer back to it later...so i want to open an additional terminal..

You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal window, but IIRC VMware uses the Ctrl+Alt combo by default to return input control to the host OS so you might need to change your preferences in VMware Player.
