I don't see that it does anything that I can't do by opening multiple 
terminals in X.
I already open several terminal windows and ssh connections to several 
servers and copy and paste between them

So tell me what do you use it for?

Gerald ...

What you would use screen for, or one of it's "features", if you want to
walk someone thru doing something.

I.E.  If you want to show me how to configure the httpd.conf, but I can't
find what your talking  about.

So, I login to your server, run Screen, you run screen ... and what you
type, I see also ... So, we share
the same TTY ... what it is also good for, if you make it run every time
someone logins via SSH/Telnet, you
can see what they are doing.

Make Sense?
