ShowModem already does work with custom screens.  The syntax
is:  showmodem -sCustomScreenName.

The custom screen name is the first few chars of the name just
to the right of the close box (not the file name) and is 
case sensitive.  I have been bitten by the case sensitivity
feature a bunch of times by asking it to attach to the
"vt100" screen when I should have typed "VT100".

For showmodem to find the custom screen, the terminal program
must be run first.
