Caption
=======

 - Command: caption `always'|`splitonly' [string]
 - Command: caption `string' [string]
     (none)
     This command controls the display of the window captions. Normally
     a caption is only used if more than one window is shown on the
     display (split screen mode). But if the type is set to `always',
     `screen' shows a caption even if only one window is displayed. The
     default is `splitonly'.

     The second form changes the text used for the caption. You can use
     all string escapes (Note: String Escapes). `Screen' uses a
     default of `%3n %t'.

     You can mix both forms by providing the string as an additional
     argument.
