Quite right; for some reason I thought that screen didn't read the $SYSSCREENRC if one was found in the user's home directory. Binding ^\ to 'other' solved my problem. Why, though, does assigning the same escape from within screen cause the expected behavior (ie overrule bindings specified in *screenrc)? If the (only) problem were the 'bind' clauses that I found in my $SYSSCREENRC, I would expect the effect from both within and without screen to be the same. Thanks for your help!
