====== screen(1) ======

''screen'' is a powerful console tool. The following article will give some
hints why this is true.

===== screen as terminal emulator =====

Personally I don't trust ''minicom''. Maybe it's just too user-friendly, but
anyway let's keep it simple (and stupid). So if you already got ''screen''
installed, it will do the job as well. Just call it like so:
  % screen /dev/ttyS0 115200

working on a Sun and need ''STOP+A''? Just send it a break, it will work just
fine. The default key sequence for that is ''^a^b''.

The Magic SysRQ key can also be sent through a serial connection, believe it
or not, this is also being done by sending the break signal.

===== Multiple Regions =====

''screen'' supports having the display split into multiple regions. Each region
will act as if it were a single window, sharing the screen session with the
others.

The following commands are useful when working with regions:
^  Command  ^  Description  ^
|  C-a S  | Split the current region into two new ones |
|  C-a TAB  | Switch focus to next region |
|  resize ARG  | Resize the current region (ARG may be -N, +N, N, =, max or min) |
|  C-a F  | Resize the window to the current region size |
|  C-a X  | Kill the current region |
