A really great feature of the next release of screen, which I've been waiting a REALLY LONG TIME for, is an enhancement to the -p option. In the next release, you will be able to do "screen -X multiscreen -p +" and it will create a new screen window in the specified session to attach to. Ho

I'm not sure who are the active maintainers, or who manages the not- public cvs for screen, but whomever you are I have a few requests: First, either public cvs or some prereleases would be greatly appreciated. Second, hints, projections, other information &c about future releases would be go
