Can you open a new shell inside an already open screen window? Try to run 'bash' from and already existing screen that's logged in to the same machine you are running screen on. Does that work? Can you login to the system and start screen using another window, like if you're using ssh, ssh into

Your prompt doesn't appear to be formatted correctly. At a quick glance, it looks like you are starting the prompt with a "non printing" escape sequence (\[) for bash, but you never close it. Take a look at the bash man page, specifically do a search for "begin a sequence of non-printing char

I think it's great that there is still development going on for screen. I for one could not live without screen! I think vertical split gives an interesting possibility... Here is the scenario: Say I have a terminal window that's 50 rows by 161 columns. I make a vertical split, so now my w

To get to the newly split screen, use Ctrl-A TAB.  Then, you can select which screen you want to display in there using any of the normal screen window control commands.  If you want a new screen, you'll need to make one using Ctrl-A C as usual for a new screen. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wh

Are you saying that some svgalib apps work and others don't?  You need to be more clear.  If they all don't work, then that makes sense, but if some work and not others, always when you're in screen, then there's something else going on.  What you're saying in your second post is not clear to m
