 +======Synopsis:======
 +[[window]] create
 +
 +======Description:======
 +This command creates a new physical screen in a new TTY.
 +If you are running under GNU Screen or Tmux, (normal) it 
 +will open a new screen/tmux window and put a new window in it.
 +If you are running locally under X Window, it will open a new
 +xterm and put a new window in it.
 +
 +If you are running under BOTH X window and GNU Screen or tmux, then
 +you may want to use /[[set wserv_type]], which can be the value
 +**XTERM** or **SCREEN** to force one or the other.
 +
 +If you try to create a new XTERM screen, your client needs to be able to 
 +connect to the X server given in your DISPLAY environment variable,
 +or [[window create]] will fail.
 +
 +This command might not exist if whoever built it #undef'ined WINDOW_CREATE
 +in config.h.  It is defined by default.
 +
 +If you want to get rid of your new screen, use [[window delete]].
 +Deleting a screen does not [[window kill]] the window.
 +Use [[window delete_kill]] for that
 +
 +======History:======
 +This operation first appeared in ircII-2.2 \\
 +The ability for screens to have different geometries first appeared 
 +in EPIC4-1.1.3 \\
 +The ability to choose what kind of screen to create ([[set wserv_type]]) 
 +first appeared in EPIC4-1.1.14. \\
 +The ability to delete a screen and its window at the same time 
 +first appeared in EPIC5-2.1.4 \\
