Question regarding the screen program.
 

Before I start let me say I did check the man page, I'm just very new to linux and I don't think I understood how to dettach a screen if I'm in a program. Now I know how to detach a screen the command prompt screen -d. My question is how do I dettach a screen while in another program like Pine, Vi, or BitchX. It's Ctrl + something I just couldn't figure out what exactly from the man page. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance and to all those who've answered previous questions of mine it's greatly appreciated.

or
ctrl -a , d

Umm..
 

Ctrl + Z definetly suspends the current program I'm working in and drops me back to the command prompt but how do I unsuspend or access that program again once I've suspended it. Cause screen -r doesn't work since I haven't actually detached the screen session just the current program/process being run by it.

Thanks,

to bring the program back you can use "fg"
however as I mentioned above you can detach directly using "ctrl -a, d", so you don't have to pause the program, then type screen -d.
