I had to chuckle at the suggestion to use Ctrl-\ as Screen's escape key. I did this for a while and discovered that one can raise SIGABRT from the command-line! I use Ctrl-Space as my escape key: escape ^@@ But then again, I'm not an Emacs user and don't have to set-mark. -- Erik Falor http://unnovative.net Registered Linux User #445632 http://linuxcounter.net
