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:
--------------------------------------------
|  $                     | $                        |
|                         |                            |
|                         |                            |
|                         |                            |
--------------------------------------------
| $                      | $                        |
|                         |                            |
|                         |                            |
|                         |                            |
