I was saying that using my new infrastructure and perhaps something like the nohup toy, it might be possible to implement something like screen or tmux. It's not actually on my TODO, not part of the design to specifically support such things, just mentioning that it might be possible. I actually use tmux in preference to screen, but that's not a subject for this list. I don't think either screen or tmux are on the toybox roadmap. Tmux is a completely different design to screen. It serves the same purpose, but is enough different that I doubt if it was even useful for them to share code. I got the impression they did not WANT any of screen's code. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
