mate command and screen in Leopard

[lists-63]

This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere online that I can find, so:

Allan informed me on IRC that the mate command doesn't work from  
inside screen in Leopard.

All is not lost, however. I discovered that if you install screen via  
MacPorts (I had to 'port sync' first, then 'port install screen'), you  
can use the mate command from inside screen with no problems.  
Hopefully this will save someone else a few minutes of fruitless  
searching.

You sure have just helped me. Genious. Wonder how screen shipping with  
Leopard is broken though.

Out of curiousity: In what situations would you use this screen+mate
combination?

Well, actually i hoped i could get rid of it with Leopards tabs, but i  
can't find a way to set the title of them, so it's quite hard to  
distinguish between sessions.. Makes it extremely less useful.

Screen gives me "tabs", in my terminal, and i can label them as i  
want, and some other nice stuff.

I'm very often logged on at several different remote machines, and i  
had this: (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/RemoteEdit/) running on  
all of my machines, so i could just "mate <filename>", in all of my  
"tabs", no matter what machine is was currently "working on" ..

But it doesn't seem Apple Events are playing nice on Leopard, as i get  
some errors in console, trying to set it up again. Hoping for a fix  
real soon, because it was incredibly easy to use TextMate no matter  
what remote box i was logged in to.

Ah thanks :-) Was just wondering.
