Actually, I had forgotten that something made it not work the way I suggest up
there. I had to create a file (or maybe I edited an already existing
one...tired...lol) in /etc/profile.d that I called screen.sh and it looked like
this:
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/profile.d/screen.sh
if [ -z "$SCREENDIR" ]; then
export SCREENDIR=$HOME/tmp
