By the way, I encourage Malcolm and others to investigate "tmux".
I strongly recommend tmux, at least for people who don't already have an emotional investment in screen. I tried to switch myself, but had some grief: http://cyber.com.au/~twb/.tmux.conf (Fixes welcome.) Note that Debian (and derivatives like Ubuntu) ship a very heavily patched Screen, mainly backporting unreleased features (e.g. vertical splitting) from git. (There's also a branch with lua support!) Screen hasn't had a release since 2008, and the codebase is pretty awful.
