I just tested and "source /path/to/a/file" in my .screenrc worked perfectly.
Does the user have permissions to read that file?
What version of screen? What OS?

1Besides, it should be $PATH, otherwise it won't take the variable content. – chmeee Jul 08 '09 at 20:57

@freiheit: I have permissions to use read the file. My Screen is 4.00.03. I use OS X. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Jul 12 '09 at 15:14

I found the reason for the bug. Screen does not understand `~/bin/screen/file.screen`, but instead it understands `/Users/masi/bin/screen/file.screen`. --- Do you know how you can make Screen to understand `~` – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Jul 12 '09 at 15:22
