Display all windows in a table for visual window selection.
If screen was in a window group, screen will
back out of the group and then display the windows in that
group. If the -b option is given, screen will
switch to the blank window before presenting the list, so
that the current window is also selectable.
The -m option changes the order of the windows, instead of
sorting by window numbers screen uses its internal most-recently-used
list. The -g option will show the windows inside any groups
in that level and downwards.
