switching the windows command (^W) to always on

I would like to have the result of the "windows" command to be
shown on my hardstatus line at all times (without typing ^A^W).
This would allow me to catch updates by the appearance of the '!'
character next to the window's id.

Is it possible to do this, or a better way?  Any help is greatly
appreciated.


The line currently looks like this:
    22:17|| 0 xmms  1* mutt  2 naim  3 w3m

If #2 updates, then it could look like this, I would like it to
look like this permanently:
    22:18|| 0-$ xmms  1*$ mutt  2!$ naim 3$ w3m

I have this option set to turn hardstatus on constantly:
    hardstatus alwayslastline "%c|| %w||"

Version:
    Screen version 3.09.15 (FAU) 13-Mar-03
