Well Floyd, you were right. Running screen in an xterm was stupid. I misunder-
stood my guru.

Now I am running screen from a tty, and until I bring up X am only using 15
megs of RAM.

To run X apps I startx with NO apps and bring up a little xterm, put the X apps
I want to run in the background, and kill the xterm.

MUCH better way to do it.

Alan
