How can I execute a command in a detached screen?

User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.5 (Macintosh/20050711)

I do the following:

address@hidden bin]$ screen -dm
address@hidden bin]$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
        22539..mirage   (Detached)
1 Socket in /tmp/uscreens/S-sdn20.

address@hidden bin]$ screen -S 22539..mirage -X exec "/bin/ls -l"
address@hidden bin]$

...but when I re-attach the screen there is no evidence to show that the
command executed.
I've been pouring over the man pages and I cannot discern the proper
syntax for this.

Clue please?

Jim C.
