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.)


Basic usage is to run 'screen' to get a new shell inside a screen session. Inside the screen session, hitting CTRL-a followed by some other key will do something to screen. CTRL-a ? will pull up screen's help. CTRL-a d will detach the screen session, removing it from your Terminal window. To reattach to a detached session so that you can see what's going on, invoke 'screen -r'.

screen -x is also a great tool, it lets you attach to a screen session more than once, meaning you can have the same session in more than one terminal window, even if they are on different machines.
