Opening a shell session on a Linux Red-Hat 5 system, using Putty over ssh, I launch a screen session, but I find that when I press CTRL+A that I do not see the command prompt. All other screen commands work fine, apart from this one.

This appears to me to be a problem specific to the combination of Putty and screen, as it worked with other terminal emulators. Has anybody else come across this?

OK it turned out there some very strange tty settings going on. Setting a "sane" config and the key combinations work as expected. Regards PetePete
