See below.

Sorry, I tried to replicate and simplify the following that I
have in my screenrc:

# startup of programs
screen -t slrn 1 env TERMCAP= slrn
screen 2 w3m -B
screen 3 mutt
screen 0
screen 4 vim -c Calendar

This does not work anymore -- but it definitely did. Now I only
get screen 1, 2, 3 4, and not screen 0. For the moment I have
changed it to:

# startup of programs
screen
screen -t slrn 1 env TERMCAP= slrn
screen 2 w3m -B
screen 3 mutt
screen 4 vim -c Calendar

For personal reasons I prefer the first, but any kind of

# startup of programs
screen [number] # as first entry

fails.
