Well I got tired of .screenrcs found via google
being so poorly commented, so being a good GNUbie
I wrote my own. Everything it does is explained.

I turned off the startup text and set message timeout to one second.

It uses function keys for detach screen session, kill current screen window,
create new screen window, rename current screen window, move to 
previous window screen, and move to next window screen.

It also displays a list on the bottom that looks like this:
window listing is in blue with the rest green
| Screens: 0* bash           5:30PM  Fri, Jun/25/2004 |
(The pipes indicate the edges of the xterm/console).

Feel free to take a gander at my .screenrc at:

Let me know if anything isn't entirely clear to ya. I wrote this
for plain people like me <g>
