Just to make sure you understand this. "C-a" in this case means "Ctrl-a" which means to hold the control key down and hit "a"; sometimes you will see it written like ^a. At any rate one way to logout from screen is to hit ^d. The man page says to use C-a C-d (hold down the Ctrl key and hit "a" and then "d") to detach screen. To close out screen and logout C-a DD. If you use different terminal emulators you may get different results from these commands. For example in a gnome-terminal C-a C-d doesn't work for me but ^d does. In and xterm C-a C-d works fine. You will find out what works for you. You should take another swing though the manpage. hth, kent -- From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R. M. Rilke
