That much I know. Why would an acknowledged user-wizard choose to use
screen instead of xterms is my question, especially since said wizard
is using X and a window manager. The folks who use screen seem
to be on the high-end of the wizard scale, so I'm assuming it must do
something better than regular xterms, but having browsed (briefly I
admit) the man page it isn't obvious to me what that might be.
