This doesn't work for me.  I've been able to read the response from an
xterm with the following code (stolen from xterm ctlseq):

read_response () {
   exec </dev/tty
   old="$(stty -g)"
   stty raw -echo min 0 time 1
   echo -n '\e]4;240;?\e\' > /dev/tty
   IFS='' read -r response
   stty "$old"
}

but it doesn't work inside screen if changed to

read_response () {
   exec </dev/tty
   old="$(stty -g)"
   stty raw -echo min 0 time 1
   echo -n '\eP\e]4;240;?\e\\e\' > /dev/tty
   IFS='' read -r response
   stty "$old"
}

Anyone have any suggestion on how I might make it work?

Thanks.
