Doing some poking about using the suggestions of oneperson who responded
before, I used:
c-a:exec myscript
It does exactly what I wanted.
Thanks very much.

I thank both people who responded. As I mentioned I'm new to screen so most
of what was suggested went over my head. I will be experimennting with the
responses if for no other reason then to learn more about screen.
Perhaps if I described what I want it will help.
While within lynx the browser i do a screen command "c-a h" to capture the
text of the current screen to a text file. Using "^z" to suspend lynx I drop
to the command line. With a shell script some text within the file is
manipulated. A "fg" takes me back to lynx.
Reading the man page it appeared some screen functions might permit skipping
the suspend part of the above. It would, using a screen function, send a
command to the script while remaining in lynx.
I hope this is helpful, has anyone any suggestions or is it not something
possible using screen?
Thanks again.
XB
