The main benefits of the screen program is that your session can have
multiple windows and keep context between multiple logins. You will also

** Welcome to the screen powered terminal **
**********************************************
Screen is a powerful program that allows your terminal session to have
multiple windows and retain context between multiple logins. This
version of screen is configured with a task bar at the bottom of the
window that shows system status, pending updates, and which window you
are currently viewing.
A complete help on the screen program can be obtained using the 'man screen'
command. Note that our implementation remaps the escape prefix to ctrl-G
instead of the standard ctrl-A.
