Oooh. One app that I've always wanted to do (but haven't had time to figure out how to use the 'hardcopy' to screenscrape for) is "send me a message any time any of these 8 screen sessions is stopped at a Password prompt". (This isn't about filling it in - if they ever prompt, it's a bug, and someone needs to investigate...) Assuming the plugin can access enough outside things, that'd be useful. Though I guess it can get all the "outside" it wants by firing up another screen and stuffing commands into it :-) (Sort of like the emacs approach, you associate an external process, like "telnet", with a buffer, and stuff strings at it and regexp-parse the responses...)
