It can't split a window, but you can flip back and forth between windows quite easily. SCR33N R00LZ, D00D !!!!!!!! You definitely want it. It's so easy and quick that I won't do anything on my system without it; even in the days of broadband access, I still get disconnected on occasion, and it's woefully hard to recover a mutt message file because the name changes and you can't just "vim -r ..." (that might be a nice thing to patch in, though... perhaps from the postponed message index or such since 'R' is taken, though I see that esc-R is available). Anyway, you can work under screen without ever thinking about it and be in your one window and only open another when you need this sort of functionality. Don't be surprised if you eventually find yourself running half a dozen or more "standard" screens, though :-) % % -- % Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) % Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] % WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/ :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
