Exercise 3: A Personal .screenrc and Copy Mode — Possible Solution
====================================================================

~/test.screenrc:

  startup_message off
  defscrollback 5000
  hardstatus alwayslastline "%H | %-w[%n %t]%+w"
  screen -t shell 0
  screen -t notes 1
  select 0

Test it:

  $ screen -c ~/test.screenrc -S test

You should see no startup page, and a bottom status line such as:

  myserver | [0 shell]1 notes

If it all works, copy it into place:

  $ cp ~/test.screenrc ~/.screenrc

Copy and paste between windows:

  1. In window 0, run:  echo "copy me please"
  2. Ctrl-a [            enter copy mode
  3. Move the cursor to the start of "copy me please", press Space
  4. Move to the end of it, press Space again (the text is copied and
     copy mode ends)
  5. Ctrl-a 1            switch to window "notes"
  6. Ctrl-a ]            the text is typed into window 1

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
It tests the configuration with -c before replacing the real file, as
the chapter advises, and walks through the full copy-mode sequence.
The exact status-line appearance depends on your terminal.
