so the program called "screen" is what is keeping the Rc5des cleient
running even thouigh the shell that launched it logouts?
Itsn't a program that doesn't die when your shell logs out called a
"daemon"?

Yeah, but I don't want to kill it. I want to be able to foreground and
background it at will using different shell instances, but the same user.
I ran it. I bg'd it. I loged out.
Next day, I log in. Same user, different shell. I want to foreground
that process. But I don't know what information to feed "fg" to get it to
foreground another (now dead) shell's processes. I am the same user, so I
would have thought I would have permission to do this on my own processes.
