 14.1 The 'bind' command
 =======================
 
  -- Command: bind [-c class] key [command [args]]
      (none)
      Bind a command to a key.  The KEY argument is either a single
      character, a two-character sequence of the form '^x' (meaning
      'C-x'), a backslash followed by an octal number (specifying the
      ASCII code of the character), or a backslash followed by a second
      character, such as '\^' or '\\'.  The argument can also be quoted,
      if you like.  If no further argument is given, any previously
      established binding for this key is removed.  The COMMAND argument
      can be any command (Command Index).
 
      If a command class is specified via the '-c' option, the key is
      bound for the specified class.  Use the 'command' command to
      activate a class.  Command classes can be used to create multiple
      command keys or multi-character bindings.
 
      By default, most suitable commands are bound to one or more keys
      (Default Key Bindings); for instance, the command to create
      a new window is bound to 'C-c' and 'c'.  The 'bind' command can be
      used to redefine the key bindings and to define new bindings.
 
  -- Command: unbindall
      (none)
      Unbind all the bindings.  This can be useful when screen is used
      solely for its detaching abilities, such as when letting a console
      application run as a daemon.  If, for some reason, it is necessary
      to bind commands after this, use 'screen -X'.
