I've been running screen now for a couple of days - what an 
extraordinarily useful program. Once I learned how to name the 
individual buffers (CTRL-a A) and access the scrollback buffer (CTRL-a 
[), I was in business. I log into my "server" via PuTTY on my laptop, 
and I've always had a ton of trouble with wireless network flakiness 
destroying sessions midway through. Now with screen I don't have to 
worry about that. If the network goes down, it doesn't matter. I just 
log back in and run 'screen -D -R' and I'm exactly where I left off.

Thanks for the pointer.
