- No, I don't do that sort of purchasing normally. I have bought AT&T

- $ =I cannot imagine using a character-based display without using

- $ =I often start something and subsequently decide that I want it in the

- $ =a new window.

- $ And you do that with "hot keys"??

- Screen uses two-character control character sequences, usually starting
- ctrl-a, but it's all user configurable. Screen is a way to get virtual
- terminals on regular old character based displays with no special
- device support.
