I believe only one terminal can have screen at any one time.


After starting screen, the magic keys are :

ctrl+a+c = create new "window"
ctrl+a+d = disconnect
ctrl+a+a = switch between last screen "window" adn the current one.
ctrl+a+N = switch to "window" N (where N is a number)


 From ssh'ing in run :

screen -rd
(disconnects any existing screen, and connects you to it)

screen
(starts a new screen session)

Hope that's of some use.


There is also a program called "splitvt" which allows you to split a 
window into multiple strips (use ctrl+w to switch with this i think)
