> Initially SHELL=/bin/bash when using a link in start menu.From initial bash prompt, i start screen, fresh session. There all kinds of bash misbehavior occur, including ~/.bashrc having no effect. Apparent reason for that is that $SHELL becomes /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash within screen.

Hm... odd.  I'm not able to reproduce this.  I have SHELL=/bin/bash both
inside and outside of screen, and I haven't adjusted it either on the
command line or in .screenrc.  /etc/screenrc doesn't set it either.

Can anyone else verify this?
A.
