Communicating with screen(1)

Start a screen:

$ screen -S test -X exec vim

Pasting text into a screen, seems to be limited by the max command line length:

$ screen -x test -X stuff ihello world

Option #2:

# /tmp/screen-exchange is used as default
$ echo "ihello world" > /tmp/screen-exchange
$ screen -x test -X readbuf

Code (i.e. literal) blocks should be wrapped inside <PRE>.
