Bug Description
There's no obvious way to add to the list of windows. If I edit ~/.screen-
screen -t chat 0 irssi
screen -t shell 1 motd+shell
It has the desired effect when I start screen, but it creates additional windows and launches additional instances of irssi when I do <F5>. If this is the expected behavior, I think it should be documented, because the inuitive behavior is different. If I've gone about adding windows the wrong way (or even if I haven't) the procedures for doing that need to be documented as well.

Thanks for the bug report.
You can add to the list of windows using the screen-profiles helper (if that's available to you), by hitting F9 and launching the configuration menu. If it's not available to you, then, yes, you edit your ~/.screen- profiles/ windows file like any other screenrc file. It accepts the same syntax defined by screen's manpage: manpages. ubuntu. com/manpages/ jaunty/ en/man1/ screen. 1.html

However, the issue you bring up about F5 is a real one ... F5 re-sources your configuration file, which re-sources the windows file, so all of your windows will get re-opened. I have experienced this, so I am marking your report confirmed (though I'll probably change the title to this effect). I'm not sure how to solve this just yet ...
