This is interesting, but there are still at least two problems:

* I still have to have the prompt available, which is often *not* the case when 
I'd like to do this

well, i could suspend the process, then suspend ssh, issue screen and come 
back, but this is not really nice and scriptable so I can bind this to a key

* Surprisingly the '~' escape, which is the default for ssh, doesn't work on 
every host I connect to




Thank you for your ideas though :)
