Use $STY. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=screen.git;a=commitdiff;h=23b17abd7a9f00894f820eeba824623940d26a38 Screen used to include the PID when expanding $STY. But not including the PID is likely more useful. In case someone wants the PID too, they should use '$PID.$STY' instead. cc: devel Cheers, Sadrul
