You can use "bind" and "bindkey" for screen.

What does this save function do? If you want to log output, there's a
number of options:
1. Launch an xterm.
script -f ~/outputscript
app 1
app 2
^D
(view file ~/outputscript)
2. Use "ttyrec" which actually records tty sessions so you can play them
back.

This depends on the window manager. But as xterm supports -xrm hints, it
is possible to do something like:
xterm -xrm 'Desk 1 2'
