Nicolas,
Using screen it is possible to have many virtual windows in a term, but as far as I know, creating a new window is only possible using a key binding (like C-a c). Is there a way that a program running in a screen cancreate a new window, and display something inside ?
Sure. If you type, say, screen fredwhile you're already inside screen, that creates a new window running the command "fred". For instance, I do this all the time (mostly from in my .screenrc, but it works at the command line too):
screen -t top top which not only a) makes a new window, and b) runs top in that new windows, but also c) names the new window "top". HTH. -- Buddy
