Unless I am missing something, the answer is really easy, make an alias
for:
ssh [email protected] screen -DRRS Fred
That will then tell ssh (the program) that the command you want to run
on the remote computer is 'screen' with the options '-DRRS Fred'. It has been a
while since I used 'screen', but my memory is that that should provide you with
the shell you expect. The only caveat to this is that you will be running only
'screen' on the other end. If you had .login things that you intended to run
before screen (to setup ENV variables for instance) so screen would be setup
those would not be run (or not be run until you were within the shell inside
screen).
