Hi All.
I want to use the BASH command *screen* but Gentoo doen't seem to know about it.
Any ideas?

The only screen command that I know is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes. If that's what you want then you'll have to emerge it.
Unless you're talking about something different then I'm don't have a clue, what is this screen command you speak of fellow gentii?

That is correct, screen is not a bash built-in. If in question just use the type command. For example:
| Code: | $ type echo
echo is a shell builtin
$ type :
: is a shell builtin
|
It also works like the which command:
| Code: | $ type bash
bash is /bin/bash
$ type cp
cp is /bin/cp
