Screen and Elscreen ...

Screen is quite good and useful application for CLI users. It creates several terminals within one terminal.

$screen emacs

$screen -a

creates screens for 0 and 1. they can be access

C-a 0 and C-a 1 (C-a n also useful )

if you need to look at all screen terminals you can

$C-a " (key strokes doesn't display in the screen but it works)

also you can split terminal horizontally

C-a S

Gives blank screen and C-a 0..9 or whatever screen can be displayed there.



Elscreen .... Rocking Emacs ...

Elscreen seems to be very very useful to emacs users.

As in screen we could create several emacs terminals in one terminals. This is very easy to compared with frames or windows. all screens created displayed in tabbed format.

C-z c create new elscreen window
C-z n Next window

are the most frequent commands (keystrokes) for me in elscreen window.
