i have been looking at screen, and think that it may
work if i could find a way (an add-on script or
something) to create a tabbable menu of the open
screens to replace the use of next and windowlist
(almost a persist on windowlist)
using X with virtual consoles is probably easier but
it would be to easy for me to just use a graphical
tool to do something rather than learn the commandline
better, which is why i am avoiding X
