I have a question about screen. Is it like using the Ctrl+Alt+ F# or Can it have a display with 4 sections. Dam me for being a visual learner but I have a very hard time visualizing something I have not sseen with my own eyes. I use to us a mainframe Terminal that did a display like the example below for CICS, Netview, TSO, and other systems . Example: -------------------------------------------- | $ | $ | | | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------- | $ | $ | | | | | | | | | | _________________________ Sam.
