Here "term term-256color" in screenrc works if I do /not/ set
$TERM in eg. bashrc explicitly. So I do roughly the following in
bashrc:

[ -z "$STY" ] && export TERM="xterm-256color"

($STY is set in a Screen session)

and in screenrc:

term "screen-256color"

(I have screen built with 256 color support)
