It's like stuff, except it sends it as input to screen, and not the shell (and uses registers). >> And while we're at it: how do I quote the individual commands of an >> "eval"? Say I want to "register" several commands.

Hm, it's more like: register r ^ac^aA process r to create a new screen and prompt for its title (that is, to type exactly the keys necessary to accomplish that). You could do register r "^a:eval 'echo text one' 'sleep 3' 'echo text 2'^m" process r for what you wanted... but then you could just as easily do the eval command by itself. :) - -- Micah J.
