just for the record:
type "screen"
to get a new window, type "^ac" where "^ac" means control-a followed by the
letter c".
to switch back and forth between your screens, do "^a" followed by the space
bar.
i'm not sure off hand how to detach/attach sessions. never got that far in
the man page, but i use screen every day of my life. :) it's useful!
