     (synopsis "Full-screen window manager providing multiple terminals")
     (description
-     "GNU screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical
-terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. Each virtual
-terminal provides the functions of the DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition,
-several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards
-(e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a
-scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste
-mechanism that allows the user to move text regions between windows. When
-screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the
-specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the
-program as you normally would. Then, at any time, you can create new
-(full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill
-the current window, view a list of the active windows, turn output logging on
-and off, copy text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between
-windows, etc. All windows run their programs completely independent of each
-other. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and
-even when the whole screen session is detached from the users terminal.")
