I've heard of screen but never used it.
The biggest problem I can see with it is that you can only see one 
screen(sic) at a time or use split screens to see partial screens.

Can you copy/paste between sessions?
Does it run on a remote server within the SSH client? If so how 
does it determine screen/window sizes?

And do you know if you can get it for cygwin - its not installed by 
default, at least not on my cygwin.
