Yes, I understand that. I wasn't thinking about a general solution. In
fact, what I was thinking is a sort of approximation solution. That
is, if the new terminal has fewer features than the old one, too bad,
the features that it don't have will get mapped to other things.
There will be problems, I know. But, for me, this is safer than to
terminate a screen session without really knowing what I was running
the last time I detached it.

In any case, thank you very much for the program. It is the first
program I run after logging in every day. It would be much harder for
me to work at home if not for your program.
