 The redirect can be undone by pointing back to the previous terminal object (which this function returns whenever you switch). For ComputerCraft builds older than 1.6, use [[term.restore|term.restore()]] to revert instead.
-Advanced systems running on ComputerCraft 1.6 or later implement [[multishell]], which enables easy multitasking at the expensive of some terminal slow-down (all instances of the [[shell]] are redirected to a [[window (API)|window]], increasing the number of function calls involved in any graphical updates). This can be circumvented by way of redirecting to [[term.native]](), at the cost of (somewhat messily) breaking things for users who actually want the multitasking capability.
