Mac OS X (latest version) - cant find .screenrc

Question

very simple question: I'm using latest version of Mac OS and want to modify my .screenrc file... can't find the file. I have made invisible files visible via Finder and I have also searched for it via the command line.

I have searched for it via the obvious directory structure from my $HOME directory, and I have gone to root and tried searching for it there... all searches yield no results.

I have search using the actual name and partial string with wildcards... what am I missing?

You need to create it, as one will not exist by default.

Just to double-check that it doesn't exist, open Terminal.app & type:

ls -al ~/.screenrc

If it returns nothing, then it doesn't exist.

To create:

touch ~/.screenrc
