Then, at any time, you can create new (full-screen) 1.19 +windows with other programs in them (including more shells), 1.20 +kill the current window, view a list of the active windows, 1.21 +turn output logging on and off, copy text between windows, 1.22 +view the scrollback history, switch between windows, etc. 1.23 +All windows run their programs completely independent of 1.24 +each other. 1.25 +Programs continue to run when their window is currently not 1.26 +visible and even when the whole screen session is detached 1.27 +from the users terminal.
