+===== Syntax =====
+  * ''**zombie** [//keys//[onerror]]''
+===== Description =====
+Per default, ''screen'' windows are removed from the window list as soon
+as the window's process (e.g. shell) exits.  When a string of two keys is
+specified to the ''zombie'' command, "dead" windows will remain in the
+list.  The ''[[kill]]'' command may be used to remove such a window.
+Pressing the first specified key in the dead window has the same effect.
+When pressing the second key, ''screen'' will attempt to resurrect the
+window.  The process that was initially running in the window will be
+launched again.  Calling ''zombie'' without parameters will clear the
+zombie setting, thus making windows disappear when their process exits.
+As the zombie-setting is manipulated globally for all windows, this
+command should only be called ''[[defzombie]]''.  Until we need this as a
+per window setting, the commands ''zombie'' and ''[[defzombie]]'' are
+synonymous.
+Optionally you can put the word "onerror" after the keys.  This will cause
+screen to monitor exit status of the process running in the window.  If it
+exits normally ('0'), the window disappears.  Any other exit value causes
+the window to become a zombie.
