Problem with GNU Screen when using control + right/left arrows

[Makmiller Martins Pedroso]

Hi all, 

I've been having the following problem with GNU Screen. I like using
Ctrl + left/right arrows to move between words but it sometimes doesn't
work if I'm within GNU Screen. More specifically, I noticed the
following: 

1. When I'm at the terminal prompt inside of GNU Screen, I can
move between words using Ctrl + arrows without any problem. However, if
I call Emacs (with the command "emacs-snapshot-gtk -nw"), and I press
Ctrl-<right> I get the characters "5D." I get the characters "5C"
when I press Ctrl-<left>. 

2. When I'm outside of GNU Screen and I call Emacs from the terminal, I do not have this problem with the Ctrl key. 

Do you know how I can solve this problem?


Thanks very much!
