Doesn't get mirroring. To be clear, when I follow the above with two
terminals ssh'd into the host, both connect to the same session. But if in
one terminal I create a new window I don't see it on the other. If the same
window is open in both screen sessions then what happens in one window
appears in the other, but both sessions must independently agree and
arrange to have the same window open.

I need the two screen sessions to keep what window is open, etc. in sync.
That seems like a requirement for any sort of pair programming or teaching
use, and it is what the upstart tmux does, but it's not screen's default
behavior. Am I missing something? Or running the wrong version? My debian
server's running screen 4.06.02 -- which is four years old! But my Pi's
running 4.08 from 2020 and [mis]behaves the same.

Thanks,
