Re: screen inside of screen

This does not answer your question directly (I leave that to the other
thread), but I wonder if the behavior you expect would be
(mostly/somewhat) accomplished by setting screen to be your default
shell on all your machines. I have found this to be most pleasant on
machines that I only access remotely.
