Today's output for screen -DR was not the usual "(New screen)" but "Be careful! New screen tonight."

I cannot grumble about "geek humor" if, in fact, I get the joke. And the joke was presented to me while launching an obscure command-line Unix shell utility.

(Also screen -list prepends its output with "Your inventory:" OK guys.)

Screen will go into nethack mode if there is a ~/.nethackrc file in place (not the only way to enable it, but a common one.)

I thought it was still in Debian, it was in older version I know and remains in Ubuntu 7.04 -- I just checked.

(You do have to compile the nethack options in, so maybe Debian 4 has stripped that.)

FWIW, this is a screen obtained via Fink, the Mac OS X port of Debian's package manager.
