Re: Sending commands to shell

c
  I thank both people who responded.  As I mentioned I'm new to screen so 
most of what was suggested went over my head.  I will be experimennting 
with the responses if for no other reason then to learn more about screen.

Perhaps if I described what I want it will help.

While within lynx the browser i do a screen command "c-a h" to capture the 
text of the current screen to a text file.  Using "^z" to suspend lynx I 
drop to the command line.  With a shell script some text within the file 
is manipulated.  A "fg" takes me back to lynx.

Reading the man page it appeared some screen functions might permit 
skipping the suspend part of the above.  It would, using a screen 
function, send a command to the script while remaining in lynx.

I hope this is helpful, has anyone any suggestions or is it not something 
possible using screen?

Thanks again.
