Change screen keys

Hi,

I'm using GNU screen, but i'm having a problem with the keys of the screen.

All screen commands begin with control-a, but this key is also used in bash to send the cursor to the begin of the line.

Is it possible to set the screen key (control-a) to another key?

How can i do it?

Thanks,
Pedro

I don't know how - but you could tell bash to use vi
key-bindings (set -o vi). So in screen to get to the
beginning of the line you'd just go Esc-0

Cheers,
Tink

Yes, i know that. I can also create a new bind key. But, i want to change the configuration of the screen.
