"Put in it"? How have you put anything in the windowlist view? The windowlist is not modifiable, to my knowledge. A common technique is to use the hardstatus to keep track of windows (see the bottom of the "String Escapes" section for a handy example of this). Not sure if that'll help a ton with 30+ terminal sessions... You may find the "group" functionality of the current development sources to be handy; you can create a group window with C-a : screen -t my-group //group and then any windows you create from the group window, or from a window that's part of the group, will be a part of that group. When in a window that's part of a group, only other windows of that group will show up in the windowlist or hardstatus %w/%W escapes (you can get a full list by giving windowlist the -m option). You can also change the group a window is in with C-a : group my-group The feature's currently got some glitches (Killing a group window seems to freeze screen for me, but only sometimes). But it can be a useful organization tool. - -- Micah J.
