Re: switching the windows command (^W) to always on

True, but don't you need to actually type ^A^W to see that
something has actually changed?  I want it to appear on the
hardstatus line all the time ... without typing the "windows"
command.    I could be misunderstanding what you mean, and I've
tried reproducing the example you gave below with no luck.

Well, I've upgraded to your version of screen, and I still need
to actually execute the "windows" command in order to see either
the bell '!' or activity '@' flags.  It does not show up on the
hardstatus line otherwise.  Unless again I'm misunderstanding
what you mean.

New version exactly is:
    Screen version 4.00.01 (FAU) 18-Sep-03
