Thanks Craig, I was looking for something like that, one question
though, that needs to be run from an X session, correct?  If so, is
there a keyboard shortcut to open a command window in Gnome. 
Currently, the only thing I have been able to do is switch to a
command line virtual terminal.  Can I run that from a command line
virtual terminal?

Thanks,

Tony
