I was recently added to a group on the unix server. My active screen session has not been update to the new groups:

$groups
A B C D
$screen -r
$groups
A B C

Without closing my screen session is there a way for me to use my new privileges in the screen session? Or if not, is there at least a way I can save all of the different directories each of the tabs are on?

Thanks, Dan
