In the last hour I put together an almost working patch, which I
decided Sucks Balls™ at the last moment due to the unfriendly nature of
multidimensional arrays (and my lack of sleep). Basically I can do a
single word command, but I want more.
I was trying to implement it in such a way that the message is sent to
the screen /immediately/ before attach, so it begins (more or less)
/at/ attach. This, however, is just a coded example of "screen -X
something; screen -r", which has undesirable results (any previously
attached session gets the command, and switches windows, and if -xRR
the new screen does NOT move to the new window... Go Figure™).
I'm thinking that the best way to make this work as desired is to build
it into the attach routine (not the attach() function, but the back-end
"I'm getting attached to" routine, which I have yet to look at).
Anyone out there want to offer some tips... or code? :-D

P.S. Are pretty patches to screen being accepted? If so, I would be
happy to convert the old style function headers to proper form. Do I
need to patch against CVS? (if so, where is it???)

Hello John,
I read your post to the screen-users mailing list about "re-attach
and open new window" functionality in screen.
I'd be interested in exactly the same thing. Have you had any further
ideas?
