Thanks for the introduction to screen, Amy.  I installed screen and
printed the man pages (all 47 of them).  Also, I found and printed a
4-page introductory article.

Inasmuch as I work almost entirely in the X environment, I wonder
whether screen is the best solution for my needs.  I think something
like a remote X-session might be a better fit, but I haven't figured
out how to implement that, and I haven't yet found a good HOWTO on the
subject.
