Torsten Scheck had the correct idea:  Use 
"screen -x emacsserver -X detach" instead of "screen -d emacsserver".

Now there is another but minor problem: Most times I use this
script from within a screen window.  In this cases of a "screen in
screen" situation the outer screen grabs at all screen keyboard
commands.  How do I send keyboard commands to the inner screen
session (e.g. ^aF)?


Script attached.  Warning: The emacs screen session uses "°" as
command character since ^a is not usable when working with
emacs. 

Ciao, Gregor
