CentOS - Feb 2009 - GNU Screen Macro?

Anyone know if this is possible with GNU screen?

I would like to have a macro or keyboard shortcut whereby the
following actions are performed:

1.  Open new screen window (CTRL-A C)
2.  ssh to some $host
3.  Rename current screen as $host (CTRL-A A $host)

I can see that typing "screen" while within a screen session opens a
new window, however I''m not clear on how to automate steps 2 and 3.

Under bash, I have a function defined like so:
  function ss () {
    screen -t $1 ssh $*
  }

Then, I simply type:
  ss hostname 

If I need to pass any options, then I simply stick it on the end, and
the resulting screen window is named the hostname.  If you do not want
the fqdn, then use the .ssh/config file to set up aliases using the
Host/Hostname.

Nice, this is helpful.  I used "ssc" instead because there appears to
be a built in ss command.
