Eh, for some applications, multiple windows is wrong - if you're going to have to "screen -x" multiple connections to them anyway, it's actually cleaner to be able to manage them with names and "screen -ls". (This approach is particularly useful with, for example, a "builder" account that runs autobuilders but different people may need to check on...) That said, yes, windows are a more "advanced" feature than just attach/detach... but that doesn't actually mean they're *necessary*. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
