| I'm trying to learn, but I'm running into a few problems. I've been searching the forums without any luck for a while now, although I'm sure there must be a guide somewhere. Searching for 'screen' is hopeless; it's too common a word. |

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but have you read the manual and GNU info pages? | Code: | $ man screen
$ screen --help
$ info screen |

I did, it's just there's a lot of information there.
Is there any way to get a list of screens running to sit at the bottom of my xterm? I know I can bring up a list with C-a ", but I'd rather have a list always up that I could switch between with C-a 0-9 (which is a default keybind I know, but I'd like to be able to see how many terms I have up, and if possible, what they're doing).
How do I re-attach a screen that I've detached? |

well screen -list gives you a list
screen -r reattaches a screen
I always do screen -S screenname
ctrl a+d to detach
and then screen -r screenname to reattach |

| Ah thanks. I think I'm gonna give up on the list idea and just use the next and previous, after I remap the keys to something closer to 'a' so that I can easily do it with my left hand. |

I also found this short tutorial:
http://jmcpherson.org/screen.html
seems that a google search on "gnu screen" might get you the info you need |
