Thanks for the responses. Let me clarify my question though. From the
replies I'm reading, it seems the impression I've given people is that
I don't know how to use screen, and this I do know, at least well enough
to do what I've needed it for so far. My question concerning screen
was can I take a wget process already running in another standard
console, (I.E., no screen involved, just bash), and attach screen to
it without stopping it, or effecting its operation in anyway. As far
as I know, the answer to that question is no.

Anyway, I solved the problem by biting the bullet, hitting ctrl+c on
the wget job, launching screen, and starting the wget job over again
under screen this time, passing the -c flag to wget to continue a
partial download, and all seems to be working fine now. Then, I of
course detached from the screen session, and logged off.
