Yes, "stty sane" and "stty tty" help, thanks. I've seen the
problem in tcsh and zsh on FreeBSD. I still think it has at
least something to do with screen's termcap peculiarities.

If my memory does not trick me, I remember a couple of times
when I couldn't input any characters at all. That happened
when writelock was 'on' and about 10 users connected to my
screen session.

I'm starting to teach Unix to a new group of students today
(using screen) and I'll try to find out more about the issue
over the next few weeks.

Thanks!
