Not part of the original question, but three of my favorite screenrc settings # make the shell in every window a login shell shell -$SHELL # really cool status line hardstatus alwayslastline "%{= kr}%C %D/%d %{= bw} %-w%{rw}%n %t%{= bw}%+w" # make the spacebar list all the windows bind ' ' windowlist -b Another fun thing to do when sharing a screen session is to split it so that one person is on the top part of the screen in a shell, and another person is on the bottom screen. To split the screen Ctrl-A + S, then to tab from top to bottom ctrl-a+tab. To go back to single pane type ctrl-a+Q also http://www.google.ca/linux?hl=en&q=screen+share+session&btnG=Search
