That works nicely:
$ xargs -l1 -t screen -X screen < commands
And all is cool.
Thanks very much for your help.

You can try "-X". This works for me:
~> xargs -l1 -t screen -X screen < cmds
screen -X screen less /etc/inittab
screen -X screen less /etc/fstab

You could always ignore any running screen and do something like
this:
~> cat > cmds
screen less /etc/fstab
screen less /etc/inittab
~> screen -m -c cmds
Ciao,
