[ale] how do I - icon starts script starts 4 scripts

[Dennis Ruzeski]

If you want the code for this hit me up off list but I would open a file
descriptor for each script and send all output to it, then launch
terminator (or similar with 4 sub terminals) and fire off a screen session
in each to display the contents of one of the file descriptors.
