Should and can are two entirely different things. We're dealing with

reality here and trying to cope with fifty years or so of differing

terminal designs.

No it doesn't. Screen provides a virtual terminal with lots and lots of
|
| 14 |
capabilities. It then reduces them itself internally to what it thinks
|
| 15 |
the underlying term supports -- again, this is done via terminfo, so if
|
| 16 |
you're running screen on xterm you're running a crippled screen.
