ElScreen 1.4.6 README file
This is the distribution of ElScreen 1.4.6, released December 2007.
It is an Emacs utility with which you can have multiple screens
(window-configuration) on your GNU Emacs as well as GNU screen on
terminal.
If you use emacs-lisp applications which have many windows (like
Gnus, irchat, Wanderlust, Mew...), ElScreen makes it easy to
switch to a different screen, with its configuration unchanged.
You can also create and kill screen, jump to them, rename the
screen, and so on.
