Awesome. Thanks Brett! Just what I needed; I can use a different
custom .screenrc for different projects which is just what I need.

I've also put my standard "escape ^Gg" in the custom rc to trigger the
screen commands rather than the usual control-a (which I use with
crtl-e etc to navigate bash lines)

Cheers!
