It uses whatever's in $LOCKPRG. Looking at the current code, it seems
the message about /usr/bin/lock and /usr/local/lck is outdated: screen
appears to always use the builtin when $LOCKPRG isn't specified (this
may be due to known bugs in common lock implementations?). Anyway, make
sure $LOCKPRG is set appropriately in the foreground screen's environment.
