+    longDescription =
+      '' 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.
