The developers list would be more appropriate for this information but subscribing to yahoo lists is prohibitively difficult so I gave up.
Some two years ago I created patches to have run-time instead of compile time sockdir option and to be able to move the status to not to cover the place where usually the prompt is. My addition to the man page: sockdir local|shared shared means that the sockets directory may be shared between various hosts and screen -wipe command will NOT wipe non-local sockets. status [ top | up | down | bottom ] [ left | right ] The status window by default is in bottom-left corner. This command can move status messages to any corner of the screen. top is the same as up, down is the same as bottom. The patch: ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/private/rzm/patches/screen-4.0.2-rzm2.diff also for screen 3.9.x ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/private/rzm/patches/screen-3.9.15-rzm.diff Some additional comments: ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/private/rzm/patches/README R. -- Jeżeli upadnie cywilizacja zachodnia, to będzie szansa na odbudowę cywilizaji chrześcijańskiej.
