I have tried that, without the ^a it simply ignores the cursor keys. :(
That said a line like this (with printable characters) work as expected:

bind ' ' windowlist -b

The above shows me the windowlist on pressing C-a <space> in screen.
Similarly this attempt to interchange C-a n and C-a p also works.

bind n prev
bind p next

Am I getting the cursor key codes wrong? I am getting the ASCII values
by quoting the cursor keys with C-v in bash. Is there a way to get the
octal numbers somehow?
