Not yet. I am currently in the process of adding this support, however. The basic framework to get back a response from an existing screen session has been implemented. Now the commands need to be updated to properly produce the response to send back as the query result. I am going to update the 'info', 'lastmsg' and 'windows' commands for this first. What other commands do you think a script might want to query? Stay tuned!
