Cheat sheet:

Add .screenrc to ~

Start by running: "screen"

Control key is ^-o

^-o, n = next screen (right)
^-o, p = previous screen (left)
^-o, c = create a new screen
^-o, A = set name for screen
^-o, <num> = switch to screen <num>

^-o,S = split the screen
^-o,tab = switch to other half of screen
