One of the things I like about it is that it provides a mechanism for cut and paste, yes. Why do you call it "somewhat-broken"? (Be advised that I'm talking about the GNU version of "screen", not the non-GNU version, which I haven't used in a while but which I seem to remember as having fewer features and little if any documentation.) > When, of course, graphical apps have had working > universal clipboards for, well, forever, For suitable values of "forever" .... And I sometimes find it somehow soothing to work in a non-graphical environment.

I have no idea what that "crud like ...." phrase is meant to convey; it doesn't resemble anything I've observed happening with "screen". -- B. L.
