my experience as a continual Screen user is
that Screen refuses to communicate with other key-manipulating programs.
to get C-Kermit to work to download files to my PC
i first have to suspend Screen with ^ad ;
to get our nifty little Emacs-derivative editor to work
-- it uses keys F1 - F12 a lot -- i have to enter the editor first
to define those keys properly before restoring the current Screen.
yes, i have tried defining things in .screenrc without success;
yes, i have RTFM'd, more than once.
i believe this is a limitation of Screen itself:
probably HN has discovered another instance of it.
