I use one screen process with multiple windows. Inside screen process press:
<ctrl>+c - create new screen window
<ctrl>+n - switch to next screen window (if You have more than one
screen window - just keep pressing this key sequence till You get
right screen window)

This will allow during single ssh session to use GRASS, manage server
and use some console based IRC client to hang around in #grass :)

If You have been diconnected from remote machine while screen was
open, use "screen -d -r" to resume - it will detach previous screen
session and then resume it - You can continue work as nothing
happened.


Hope somebody will find this helpfull,
Maris.
