Re: Spawning a process into a new Screen window programmatically

[Aaron Davies]

If it can start new processes (fork/exec, etc) it could retrieve $STY
from it's env and call screen with appropriate arguments to tell it to
start a new window w/a new process in it.

This is the same thing as spawning a new window/process from a shell
on the same box but outside the session.
