If you write a followup to a previous message, please do so by using the
"Reply" button of your mailer; this keeps the messages together in one
thread.

Also, are you aware that both of your messages were sent twice?

"-" is not the name of the shell, which is what -s (and the "shell"
screenrc command) expects. I'm somewhat surprised it works at all, but
I'm guessing screen just falls back to /bin/sh when the supplied shell
isn't valid (personally, I'd prefer a failure with a message).

If you want a login version of, say, ksh, then supply "ksh -".
