Is it possible to do the following: I usually use screen on a VT100 clone. One day of a week I will use a vc404. On that day, since I never exit from screen, I have to restart up screen, with all the VT100 escape sequences on the screen, terminate it, and then start a new screen. Is there a way to tell screen on the fly that the physical terminal has changed?
