Thanks.

I have put the following in my .bashrc and it's giving me exactly what I want.

ssh() { screen -t "address@hidden" ssh "$@"; }

BTW, I have ~/.ssh/config file setup with ssh keys and all the options
I need so in
the (bash) prompt all I do is type: ssh <servername> and I get a new screen
window with <servername> as the title.

Out of curiosity: would anyone know what these "address@hidden" ssh "$@"; means?

Thanks again.
