screen start of line / end of line shortcuts without remapping escape key

i like the escape key in screen as the default [ctrl]+a so don't want to remap it. this of course interferes however with the emacs command line start / end of line shortcuts.

i've finally found the way around this problem without remapping the escape key - hoorah..!

start of line: [ctrl]+a a
end of line: [ctrl] [ctrl]+e

these shortcuts are so quick and easy and similar to the emacs shortcuts that i far prefer this method to remapping the screen escape key.
