Setsid
======

 - Command: setsid state
     (none)
     Normally screen uses different sessions and process groups for the
     windows. If setsid is turned `off', this is not done anymore and
     all windows will be in the same process group as the screen
     backend process. This also breaks job-control, so be careful.  The
     default is `on', of course. This command is probably useful only
     in rare circumstances.
