tmux

I discovered today that tmux does a better job than screen at allowing a
large canvas of a window and having a virtual screen onto that canvas --
which is nice.  So, I can keep lots of context, even while changing the
client screen into the same session.

No doubt, there are probably good tools in tmux for dealing with this,
but, out of the box, it's not bad.
