     1.4 +Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a
     1.5 +physical terminal between several processes, typically
     1.6 +interactive shells.
     1.7 +Each virtual terminal provides the functions of the
     1.8 +DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control
     1.9 +functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022
    1.10 +standards (e.g., insert and delete line and support for
    1.11 +multiple character sets).
    1.12 +There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual
    1.13 +terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows the
    1.14 +user to move text regions between windows.
    1.15 +When screen is called, it creates a single window with a
    1.16 +shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of
    1.17 +your way so that you can use the program as you normally
    1.18 +would. 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.
