using screen as a terminal

from duane's pclug 14 slides at http://duane.freeshell.net/pclug/meeting_0014/slide_04.html


All screen commands start with the keystroke CTRL-a. We'll learn the most important one first CTRL-a ? This shows us the keystroke reference for screen. Now we'll list the open windows with CTRL-a w. We see that we only have one window open. Let's fix that by creating a new window with CTRL-a c. Now CTRL-a w shows us windows 0 and 1. To switch back to the first window, we use CTRL-a 0.
