The man page for screen says that I can create a detatched screen running with a set command in it by doing this:

$ screen -dm $command

screen -dm isn't the same as screen -d -m. Try the latter.

Figured it out.

While the first line of my shell script is

#!/bin/tcsh

...I am in fact a bash user. One of the things my script is ultimately trying to do is to start multiple things from within the screen session by use of teh screen command itself; because of the shell swap, $STY doesn't seem to be getting set. If I change the first line of my script to be #!/bin/bash, it works as expected.

Thanks for looking.
