Using screen

Screen is a program that let's you keep multiple programs running in one terminal. But it's not all this small program does. According to the website:

Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells.

It may not yet be clear to you, how much power this program has, but it has, a lot.

In the next time, I will show some examples of using screen. This will include keybindings, but also examples of how and when to use screen.
