hmm. before i can see if that works for me, i think i need to solve a possibly related problem: my LINES and COLUMNS vars don't even make it into screen. i have `eval resize` near the end of my .bash_profile, which sets and exports them, so they should show up in any subprocess, right? i don't have any shell setting in my .screenrc, so screen should run non-login instances of my regular shell, i.e. bash w/the .bashrc executed, but not the .bash_profile. nonetheless, after login but before starting screen, i find that LINES and COLUMNS are set; after starting screen and checking from inside, i find that they're not. why are they not getting passed down? -- Aaron Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
