Interesting. I should check this out. I still like my WindowList and
having lots and lots and lots of gVim's and wterms, though (with a
'mutt' wterm, a 'Terminal (Local)' wterm, a 'Terminal (Gusi)' wterm ...)
and of course: Mozilla (which I have a couple of windows of, with each
window having a group of related tabs).

Life. ;)

Oh well. At least screen solves my problem. ;)

Talking about vim, I found out how to make it do what Pico/nano do with
Ctrl-J. That is, re-wrapping text to whatever page width is set, so that
reformatting snipped quoted text, or modified paragraphs, is easy. And
the solution: gqap. 'gq' is the command, and 'ap' specifies the entire
paragraph. I found out about this on #Vim on OPN, and I'm missing Pine
and Pico less and less and less.  For those interested, this[1] in your
~/.vimrc maps Ctrl-J to gqap.

[1] nmap <c-j> gqap

This reminds me of our BBSing days. Unfortunately the guy in Romania
can't pop up in your house and say hello. ;)
