Hi Michael,

Ah, "msgwait 0" does the trick! Thank you very much.

screen is  really a piece of amazing software, it has so many features.

Regards.

For any scripts I write for automating stuff in screen, I always set the
'msgwait' to '0':

screen -X msgwait 0
...
screen -X msgwait 4

With the rest of the code in the middle.  This should prevent the
blocking.
