Rocco-

Thanks for the bug report.

You can add to the list of windows using the screen-profiles helper (if that's available to you), by hitting F9 and launching the configuration menu. If it's not available to you, then, yes, you edit your ~/.screen-profiles/windows file like any other screenrc file. It accepts the same syntax defined by screen's manpage:
 * http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man1/screen.1.html

However, the issue you bring up about F5 is a real one ... F5 re-sources your configuration file, which re-sources the windows file, so all of your windows will get re-opened. I have experienced this, so I am marking your report confirmed (though I'll probably change the title to this effect). I'm not sure how to solve this just yet ...
