remap Caps Lock as gnu screen escape key

anyone know how to do this?

currently ive got Caps Lock remapped to some keycode in /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB

i want to use it as the escape key for screen.

adding it to .screenrc doesnt work.

i was thinking that a macro or something that can just send C-a to screen when i push caps lock might work...?

anyone have any thoughts?

Look into loadkeys from the kbd package. I use it to exchange Escape/Caps_Lock outside of X.
