Screen + emacs is pretty sweet

A friend of mine introduced me to screen last week, and I started using it for editing along with Emacs on my server. I picked up a emacs reference card ( http://www.refcards.com/about/emacs.html ) and I was flying. It's pretty slick - I get multiple windows for docs with emacs, can run db commands in another terminal via screen, and when I need to leave the computer for a while, I can log back into my server, and take up right where I left off. I like it. :)

The only thing I'm having a problem with is text selection in emacs - I can't seem to mark an area of text...
