Ramon, I think I failed to make the desired usage model clear. I gather most people are in the mode of (a) log in, then (b) run "screen", and (c) use screen thereafter to multiplex sessions. But my goal is to make use of screen completely invisible[*]. In PuTTY one of the configurables is the ssh

I would first name your session something informative like "development" or "testing" you can do that sending a commands to screen with C - a : sessionname DEV Then when you reconnect it would be screen -r DEV You could also just add a line to your .screenrc file. There is also another solution.
