    <para>
      <application>Screen</application> is a terminal multiplexor that runs
      several separate processes, typically interactive shells, on a single
      physical character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a DEC
      VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions and also provides
      configurable input and output translation, serial port support,
      configurable logging, multi-user support, and many character encodings,
      including UTF-8. Screen sessions can be detached and resumed
      later on a different terminal.
