shell environment setup questions

[Eric S. Johansson]

I am very close to releasing 0.1 of Boleyn, a wrapper for dtach.  Boleyn 
will look for unattached dtach session sessions previously created then 
reattach to them and if there are none, create new ones.

I must admit to my slight embarrassment, that I'm not really fluent in 
shell environments and that I'm not exactly sure under which conditions 
I should invoke Boleyn.  I created it because I was losing too many 
remote shell sessions every time my laptop suspended.

Obviously, it would want to be invoked if it's a interactive session 
coming from secure Shell but are there any others where it would make 
sense?  I would appreciate both contexts and shell script fragments for 
testing those contexts that I could put together into a bash code 
fragment one could cut and paste into your bash_profile.

Oh yes, and we might even be able to make Boleyn applicable to screen if 
things work right.
