I'll try that, but that isn't what I want.  I just want to use ^D as normal 
to log out.  I don't need to detach most of the time.

machine, so I'm not worried about it.  I didn't have a problem with rsync.

Yes, I'll try that.  That would reattach if a session is opened which is 
what I want.

What does the nethack option do?  I have the other lines already there.  I'm 
familiar with the nethack game and I think I saw the option referenced 
somewhere, but I'm not sure what the point of it is.
