some more useful things about screen.
Ca-x will lock your screen session.
screen -D -r will force detach the existing session, and reattach it at your current terminal.
screen -l will list current sessions.
screen -x will attach to that session without detaching the other session. you can be logged into the same session twice, and even use the screen terminals independantly.
and as an update to the screenrc posted here, with that status line, you can add: activity "%C -> %n%f %t activity!" bell "%C -> %n%f %t bell!~"
that will highlight terminals in the status bar that have activity. I run naim in screen, and if someone chats me up, I can see the alert.
