Add the line

export ENV=.kshrc

to /etc/profile, then set up your TERM PATH etc variable changes in $HOME/.kshrc

This will work for screen, and any other utilities that allow multiple sessions.

You should have posted in under Linux section.

you can use the $HOME/.screenrc file for the settings.

Each time you run $screen this file is read.

Also,you can use

$screen -T vt220
