[GTALUG] odd error when running the screen program?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi folks,
Both shellworld, and dreamhost, use Ubuntu as the basis for their shell 
workspaces.
Sharing that up front, as this may be tied to Ubuntu.
There is a program called screen, apparently common across some Linux 
distributions.
one can create the equal of a screen shot,
screen www.website.com
followed by control a -h.
This creates a file called hardcopy, with numbers going up for each file.
However, when I run
screen www.site.com
Regardless of the site I get.
screen cannot  accept www.site.com no such file or directory screen is 
terminating.
Suggesting that there must be a configuration issue since Debian users I 
know  <and who have likely built there own stuff> are not encountering the 
same problem.
Any tips?
