For the "script-of-some-sort" you might try "emacs -nw" (if you are of an emacs persuasion). The "-nw" will fire up emacs without opening up an X window (the X-window wouldn't get the benefit of screen, screen is character only). From there you can not only edit files, but you can fire up a shell and do your compile there. When you return to that screen session you will have all the output there to search through and look at, grab compile commands for specific files that might bear closer examination, etc. I haven't had much occasion to do this, but I have occasionally and it is cool. -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
