It depends on the command: some of them require a window to have been selected at some point. The current dev sources have fixed this I believe, but apparently a workaround is to add "-p 0" to your invocation. What are you currently attempting to do? Note that -X takes screen commands, not shell commands. If you want to tell screen to type something into a window, use the stuff command (you'll need octal escapes such as \012 to send newlines). - -- Micah J.
