It depends on the command: some of them require a window to have been
selected at some point. The current dev sources have fixed this I
believe, but apparently a workaround is to add "-p 0" to your invocation.
What are you currently attempting to do? Note that -X takes screen
commands, not shell commands. If you want to tell screen to type
something into a window, use the stuff command (you'll need octal
escapes such as \012 to send newlines).
