screen bash profile?

Does anyone know what default bash profile does the 'screen' application use? The normal terminal uses /etc/profile, but it seems that screen uses something else... Thanks.

You can set a lot of features you might want or need in the ~/.screenrc file directly... but on my system my screen is reading:

/etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile

YMMV. Generally most things you want to set in your .bashrc or .profile.

is there a way to change the default to have screen read /etc/profile?

There is a thread at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...screen-723624/ that may answer your question.
