Phil!/sven,

now how can i send the escape key just as if <esc> was pressed in that window?

I assume you're running this from the shell or a shell script.  If so, you
can use backticks:

  screen -S program -X stuff `echo -ne '\e'`

You can also use \0xx notation in stuff.  This works:

        screen -S program -X stuff "\033"
