When you're in screen, use Control-a Control-d (hold down control and press a then d) to detach the session (and return you to your shell). You can then reattach with "screen -r". You can also use "screen -ls" to list all screen sessions and their pids, in order to connect to a specific screen session. And you can use "screen -x" to connect to an already connected screen session (I generally use -x instead of -r, since it does more :). Man screen will give you way more options... :) Cheers, Sean -- Sean Quinlan ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
