creating command aliases

[Conrad O'Dea]

Hi,

it is possible to create a command alias in .screenrc?

What I would like to do is to bind a command to a string that is  
entered into  command line mode.   Screen than expands the string and  
executes the command.  So my .screenrc would contain something like:

        alias sshhost screen -t address@hidden host

and then entering command line mode, I can type:

        sshhost <RET>

and up pops a new screen.

I scanned the man page and could not fine anything like this.  The  
closest is binding a command to a key combo but that's not quite it;  
I'll never remember the key-bindings for all the shells and other  
stuff I would like to define.  Also, just plopping them into  
the .screenrc so that they are launched at start-up isn't what I'm  
after either as many of these things are transient in nature and I'll  
end up with loads of terminals that aren't being used.

thanks
Conrad
