Also, on a slightly related note, do you (or anybody, really) know whether the patch described in the 2nd answer, here, was ever submitted for inclusion? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1318210/gnu-screen-environment-variables It allows a usage like this: ^A :readbuf !cat $HOME/projects/foobar/file.txt which just reads the content of that file into the buffer. -Ryan _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
