Ok Richard, i do agree with you that the login tty won't change but i
thought Ishaaq wanted the ability to change some process from one virtual
console to another or from one xterm to another, which might be usefull
and is what can do screen.
Chnaging tty doesn't make sense to me either that's why i think his
problem might be changing VC or X-terminal.

Screen wount change the tty a process is running on, it "starts" them on
other ttys. It wount change the tty you log into either, as to why
someone
else needed the tty that Ishaaq was logged in on i cant imagen..
Before starting screen, do; 'ps ax | grep bash' note the ttys in use,
start
screen to run some or other process, now do ps again, you will see that
the
login tty does not change.
I could be of course missing something, however it does not matter what
ttys
are in use, the following process when it is started will be assigned the
next free tty in line.
