== Running Barnowl in Screen ==
-It can be very annoying to have to close Barnowl when you turn off your computer. During the time your computer is off, you're missing many (possibly important) zephyrs. It can also be frustrating if you leave your computer on with Zephyr up, but go to a different computer and want to check your zephyrs - how do you do this? These problems can be solved with the magic of screen.

To detach a screen session (for example, if you want to log out), press C-a d (Control-A, then D). Screen continues to run, but is no longer active.
-To reattach a screen session if it isn't detached, run {{{screen -r}}}. To attach it but keep it attached elsewhere, you can run {{{screen -x}}}; you can use C-a F to resize it to your current window's size. There are other options available, run {{{man screen}}} to learn more about them.
