Scripting for bash screen

Question
I have processes that I background with screen. I'm trying to write a script that attaches to a terminal, executes a couple commands, then detaches. The problem is that when I attach to a terminal, screen directs control to the user. How do I work around this?
Solution
Screen has an option -X which you can use to remote-control a screen session from within a script. See, for example, here.
