screen utility (ratpoison resembles screen, right?) uses numeration
from
1.
There's also a better reason for this than "programmers are awesome"
Once you go to two-digit window numbers, you need to pull 2 keypresses
from the event queue, then interpret them into a number. Try making 11
windows in screen, then doing a C-A 10. It switches you to window #1. I
imagine RP does the same. If you don't start from 0, you only have 9 windows
that are selectible with 1 key, as opposed to 10 if you number from 0.
