- Greets folx,
-
- I've been using screen for a couple of days in conjunction with IRC. I'm still
- quite ignorant of the full capabilities of screen. (I usu. ran X-windows.) I
- was just wondering if there were any screen users out there who could help me
- out. All I want to be able to do is have a detached screen stay 'active'. By
- this I mean I'd like to have a detached IRC session not ping out on me. I'd
- also like to know how (if possible) to allow your screen to scroll. I've tried
- leaving a detached screen overnight with IRC running as a test and the first
- time I just got pinged out only to re-connect when I re-attached the screen, the
- second time the session didn't ping out but I got flooded by msg's that were
- left while I was gone. (The hold_mode value was set to off so that was not the
- problem.) I'd really appreciate any help in the matter. Please e-mail your
- responses to ignacio@cs.odu.edu, since I don't read alt.irc much. Thanx in
- advance.
