*Thank you* for this feature. I've wanted this ever since I learned
about horizontal splitting. I really like it.
I did notice one odd thing, however. If I open screen in an xterm,
say, and run ps aux, the output is very fast: basically
instantaneous. If I then run ^a| and run the same command in a
narrower window, my CPU usage goes to 100% and there is a great deal
of flickering in the terminal. In addition, it takes a noticeably
longer time to run ps aux. As a control, running ps aux in a
plain screen window (not split) or a plain xterm of comparable width
results in the faster behavior, so I'm lead to think that screen is
involved.
Yes, currently a vertical split is expensive. As screen doesn't use
any special region-scrolling functions of the terminals it has
to do lots of refreshes. I hope to fix that soon (at least for
xterm).
Cheers,
Michael.

Sorry that development is a bit slow at the moment due to not enough spare time... Hi. I have a feature request that I would like included in the next version. The feature is to allow highlighting the windows which have bells in the hardstatus line. I have written a patch ( http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?18382) which accomplishes this by allowing me to add the numbers (or titles) of such windows by adding a '%b' (or '%B') in the hardstatus string. Hi. I don't mean to be too demanding, but are there any plans on adding this feature (by means of this patch or by any other way) in the next release? I recently started using mutt, which also allows adding a bell when new messages come in. This feature would be really useful with that. :-) Or am I missing something and it's doable with the current version? Thanks.

rotating hardcopy logs
Hi I want to absolutely be sure of never losing any data I enter into a terminal. A security feature like hardcaopy log command H would be perfect but say I want to curtail the size of this file to have at any time only the last n kB, what would be a good (elegant) way to do this? Not sure logrotate is really attractive. Thanks -- Eric Smith ___ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
