Thanks a lot Anatoly.
I can't get it to work the way I want to.

So let me say exactly what I want to do.
I want to write a bash script that will:

1. I'm in screen right now.
2. I want to create a new window with a shell. if I had to
   press it on the keyboard it would be `C-a c`
3. I want to start a program in that window
4. I want to be able to nagivate to that window, from the first screen
   window by pressing `C-a "` and up/down and enter.


How do I achieve this?

1. I tried:

    /usr/bin/screen -S gdbserver gdbserver port:1234 editor

This simply run the process in the current window without even renaming
it.

2. I tried: 
  
    /usr/bin/screen -dmS gdbserver gdbserver port:1234 editor

This runs a process somewhere in the background. I need it to be in this
screen session. I want to be able to navigate to it if I need to.


So again, how do I simply run screen (from the shell) and tell it to
create a new window, in the screen session where I 
am right now, and run a program in that newly created window?

Thanks in advance for your kind help and time
