Oh, fine.  Here I was, setting us up for a fine emacs-vs-vi flamewar, and 
you try to start "emacs-vs-screen"?!  Gawd.  ;-)

Thankfully, it seems others are providing tinder for that.

You have, however, touched on one of my pet peeves about screen.  A lot of 
the default bindings clash with common readline keystrokes.  ctrl-a being 
the worst of them!
