I don't have a solution for you, but I think it will be going in the right direction. A while back I tried to find how to open a new window in the same directory (before I realised "screen" would do that!). I imagine that you could use it to script screen for what you want with: open window, execute prog, select prev window. You can execute it with C-a : then type exec screen-utils It is on the internet somewhere, and possibly on the mailing list too, but I am not too sure where it was a while ago I looked for it. David
