Yes.

Yes.
I do this all the time by creating screenrc files with instructions for each
screen in them. That way when I logon to a box I just start screen and it
starts one screen with a bash session (the default) one with mutt and one with
SSH to another box. It even gives them nice names.
Somewhere in the .screenrc file put something like:
screen -t Rouge 0
screen -t Mutt 1 mutt
screen -t Bleu 2 ssh -A lapin-bleu
The "-t" means title if the status bar
The number is the screen session
and the bit at the end is the command to run, type nothing and you get your
default shell.
Does this help?
