welcome to the club.
please take a look at the emacs-devel thread.

nope.
is I set TERM=dumb (either with env(1) or in emacs by binding
`term-term-name'), screen exits with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Clear screen capability required.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

i.e., I am pretty sure that the problem is with screen, not
emacs/ess/term/comint.

Cool.
You can use my code as a starting point = it works!
(the problem I am complaining about are aesthetics, not functionality.)

The problem is that screen cannot do what I need - it's too heavy on
terminal emulation.
I think [dtach](http://dtach.sourceforge.net/) can.
Again, see the emacs-devel thread.
