When you first start screen, it comes up with one terminal. To create a new one, you hit CTRL-a _SPACE_ c, to quit that window, type 'exit', or hit CTRL-d. To switch windows, either hit CTRL-a _SPACE_, or CTRL-a CTRL-a. To get help, hit CTRL-a ?. To detach from screen (like vnc to run stuff in the background) hit CTRL-a d. Here are the keybindings CTRL-a Action key all stuff below is after you hit the action key: CTRL-d exit window/screen a -switch windows c -create new window ? -get help d -detach screen _SPACE_ - switch windows > Thanks in advance.
