A couple of comments. Something like this should be integrated into the base screen software. screen-devel@gnu.org or screen-users@gnu.org might be a good place to start. That is the preferred approach. If the greater screen community does not feel this additional functionality is necessary and if we the FreeBSD community feel it is, I believe we could implement this. For something like this we should approach the GNU screen developers first. If we as a FreeBSD community decide to implement this outside of the GNU screen development community, I'd like to spend some time testing it. People are free to test it and let me know what they think. Firstly though, we should submit this to screen-devel@gnu.org. I would like to be in the loop when you do submit it to them. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org e**(i*pi)+1=0
