A new screen can be created using
screen.

Ctrl-A c - Create new window
Ctrl-A A - Name a window
Ctrl-A " - Show all windows.

Ctrl-A S split window.
Ctrl-A tab to move to the next window.

Putty Title

Putty Title can be easily modified using the function wt.

wt ()
{
echo -n "^[]2;${@}^G"
# In all of these, ^[ is really the "escape" character.
# You put it into a file using vi, by typing control-V and then hitting the Escape key.
# Likewise, ^G is the control-G# character. Again, hit control-V
# then hit control-G
}
