-p stands for 'perpendicular', it seems. So if the current region is in a vertical split, it will [try to] resize the height, where by default, for a vertial split it will resize the width. -l stands for current 'layer', if you will, or the top-most split the current region is part of. [ask away if you need more clarification!] By the way, in case you haven't noticed, I added a 'dump' subcommand to layout. So you can create complex split grids and save them in a screenrc so you don't have to continually use the commands to restore the layout. (And also, perhaps you can update the doc for that? :-) ) Cheers, Sadrul
