I always want this screen configuration at random places, so here it is.
Place this in your home directory as .screenrc
# ~/.screenrc
# use visual bell
vbell on
# set a big scrolling buffer
defscrollback 1000
# Set the caption on the bottom line
caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %LD %d %LM - %c"
