You can use the ^A : binding to run whatever screen command you want,
such as "hardstatus ...". But a smarter way could be to bind a key in
your .screenrc to the "source .screenrc", offering a more convenient
way to edit your hardstatus string, by editing it within your screen
and reloading it easily.
