I am trying to start several screens in screen. That is not a problem.
But I also want to execute statements in some. And that I do not get
working.

At the moment I have the following in .screenrc:
at scalaREPL# ls -l

This gives:
unknown command ls

What is the correct way to get this working?

commands are the things built into screen like 'at' and 'attrcolor',

I think you want 'exec ls' instead of 'ls'

You are right. It is now working like a charm. Thanks.
