Paging/Scrolling in GNU screen

I'm having some intermittent network problems at home today, so to get some work done I'm running all my terminal sessions to work servers in GNU screen.  I rely on the terminal scrollback a lot.  To look at that in screen, ctrl-a [ puts you in copy mode where arrows, page up and page down, and all vi movement commands work.  Esc exits this mode.
