[ale] tools: screen

[Dow Hurst]

I don't have a large backup capacity tape drive.  So, I use screen to control 
the backup process and that way I can punch in a tape whenever I am at the 
drive and check on the tape later to start/continue the backup.  Helps alot 
when running out the door to get home for dinner!
