This was just covered a few days ago, start screen with the right set of
flags, I have it aliased to start as "screen -T vt220" and now all my
sessions are set to vt220.  I use vt220 instead of vt100 so stuff that
colorizes the output works properly.

I also remove the default /etc/screenrc file that RedHat/Fedora
installs.
