Might I suggest, though, that you use dtach (http://dtach.sf.net/) instead of

I really only use screen for detaching. I would prefer to use dtach, but when I reconnect, for example, to a shell that is running a compilation, I can't see what the previous output was. I've tried all three redraw methods, but whenever I reattach to a running shell, the cursor always starts at the top and doesn't show the previous output. This doesn't work for me when I'm compiling because I don't get the output to tell me what happened! Anyone know how to make dtach redraw work the same way it does when I reattach using screen?

Thanks -RPM
