Subject: Screen bug


Hi,
 
I'd like to report a bug, or find out how to get screen to behaviour as
I need.
I'm using screen as a means to put an interactive application in the
background until interactive access to it is needed. The application
uses <ESC>-k for cursor control, but if I use screen I am not able to
pass <ESC>-k to the application as it defaults to the title-string
escape-sequence (`<ESC> k NAME <ESC> \').
It is not feasible to change the application to use a different 
 
I want to disable screen from capturing <ESC> altogether, or as a
minimum, disable screen from acting on <ESC>-k, but instead just pass it
thru to the application.
 
I have tried putting the following in my .screenrc file, and other
configuration commands, but nothing stops screen from interpreting it as
part of the title-escape-sequence...
 
bindkey "\033" stuff "\033"
 
 
Environment details:
 
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06, (prepackaged and not compiled by
me)
 
Linux 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:02 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux
 
Hardware, HP DL320 G4
 
thanks,
