Well, my prompt for tcsh just puts out [esc]k[esc] etc.  FreeBSD's csh is 
actually tcsh, it saves me from having to embed escape codes in my .cshrc.

What does your script do?

Well, looking at ps, it's pretty easy to figure out what the last argument 
is to a given command (nine times out of ten, that's going to be all that 
matters -- ssh -1 -l danm hostname, nano -w filename...)  I just don't 
know how to pass that to screen, or how screen even "gets" the command by 
that sequence of escapes in the shell.

And is this "zsh" person on the list?
