As far as I know you don't set screen as a login shell no idea what happens if you try that. hitting control d an extra time never bothred me, one to exit screen and one to exit the login shell. It's a small price for tty multiplexing. control a DD is 3 keystrokes so that takes a few milliseconds longer I guess. Nethack just changes the default messages so they resemble the game of nethack for example You can not escape from window 0 Be careful! new screen tonight... I find the screen -d -R setup works well for me it gives me a new screen if none exists and reattaches to a screen if one exists. Regards, Kerry.
