The OP responded directly to me, and said that I wasn't understanding 
him* correctly.  He wants a way to pass screen commands on the initial 
screen command line instead of having a .screenrc.

My understanding, from this thread and other messages he's posted, is 
that he has a great number of servers that he wants to connect to and 
then run screen, and doesn't want to create a .screenrc on each.

Unfortunately, the version of screen that I have doesn't offer a 
"provide options on the command line" switch, and screen doesn't work 
with bash process substitution:
  $ screen <( echo "hardstatus on" )
  Unable to open "/dev/fd/63".
