Rasjid,
Well, you can suggest it, but you're going to have to program it as well.
The problem is that we don't know the screen number at the time that the log
file is opened. We could have one general log for pre-screen number
messages and then screen specific logs that take all messages after that
point. However, that would be bound to aggravate other users...
Multiple screen support is still spotty, so it doesn't make much sense to
have multiple screen log support until the bugs are worked out in multiple
screen support.
