here's more once you're in screen, press Ctrl-a C to create another shell session on the host. ssh somewhere else or fire up some other console app. Use Ctrl-A <space> and Ctrl-a P to maneuver around from screen window to screen window. Ctrl-A X can be used to lock a terminal. Ctrl-A ? and man screen have much more info. -- Scott Harney<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Asking the wrong questions is the leading cause of wrong answers" gpg key fingerprint=7125 0BD3 8EC4 08D7 321D CEE9 F024 7DA6 0BC7 94E5
