Aah, that was what I missed, then.  Apparently there are two hardcoded 
defaults, one of which is wiped out by the shipped .screenrc, and a third 
of which is put in place by the shipped .screenrc.  (This doesn't seem 
obtuse to anyone else?)  I was somehow under the impression (either from 
the manpage or our conversations) that ONLY ^k was hardcoded.

Indeed, that's mainly my own confusion.  I blame the coffee.
