screen in Ubintu shell question?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,
no idea what the gnu is about..at all.
still, I discovered my error.
My source for the command added a dash, which I was typing before the 
letter  h.
Once I stopped doing that the hardcopy process began, allowing me to 
capture.
Thanks, problem solved.
Kare
