Real quick, login to your box and run an interactive command with screen, like 'screen top' or 'screen pine'. Then log in again (possibly from another location, doesn't have to be). Run 'screen -d -r', and you'll take over what was on your first terminal. Of course screen does a lot more than that, but that's it in a nutshell. ray
