Sample that works here:

| % screen -S myscrn
| % screen -S myscrn -X 'stuff ls
'

. creates a screen session with socket name 'xscrn' - single window that
  runs my default shell.

. sends/runs 'ls' in that shell. '
' is entered by hitting CTRL-V and
  then hitting the <Enter> key.

To direct 'stuff' to a specific screen window:

| % screen -S myscrn -p 2 -X 'stuff ls
'

Counting from zero, '2' is the target session's third window.
