Anyhow, do y'all know of a Web site or discussion list or a primer somewhere? (I did not find one in the man page, only the e-mail address of the developer.)
I know that part of these questions have been answered below, but usage examples are golden to a fellow like myself.
Thanks again!

I use screen quite a bit, as it puts the fink install stuff in the background, rather than having it continually update a Terminal window. I can also log in from my laptop to see how things are going with the install on the main computer.
To start a new screen session: screen -R
To save the output from the current session to a log file: Ctrl-a H
To stop logging: Ctrl-a H
To detach the current screen session (i.e. return to the original Terminal window, but have whatever was going on in screen continue, unseen):
Ctrl-a d
To reattach a screen session (from the same computer, or from another one that you are ssh'd in from):
screen -R
There are many more options - see man screen.
