	Yup.  Just pull up a shell window.

	Yup, although Apple doesn't ship this software by default. 
Fortunately there are freely available X servers to fit the bill.

	Dunno, haven't tried it.  In the absence of any other data, I 
have to assume that it can.

	Not really.  I prefer to start with a tool that is a bit closer
