first of all - could you format your e-mails a little bit? It is hard to
read mails composed of single long lines. Shifting the burden of making
your mail readable to the recipient isn't that good either, if you want to
be heard.

It seems to me that making the screen accessible is not the worst thing
to do indeed, but maybe it should just be set to the current screen
on selection_beg time (or on selection_make), so your code would work
automatically.
