I remember having this issue. The problem was that I used 'screen' from MacPorts. Apple's 'screen' (/usr/bin/screen) works fine with 'mate' since MacOS X 10.6. There is a description of this issue on the MacPorts bug tracker: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18235

There's the reason that it doesn't work for me, we're still on 10.5.8. Thank you for the reply.

Looks like I'll be going with Steve's suggestion of multiple tabs for now - I had forgotten that feature. I'll have to talk to the boss about up-grading the OS around the office - it's not like 10.6 is cutting edge any more.
