I suspect you want to turn off all control sequences, not just control 
characters. You want past eight bit characters without the need for any escape 
sequences. Right?

A better solution may be dtach. I like it better than screen because I use Emacs 
and I don't care about multiple screens a single terminal session. The reason I 
don't use it is because I can't invoke it with the logic "use the first 
unattached session or create a new session."  I want this capability because it 
would let me stick the head end invocation inside of a login script and solve 
90% of my reconnection problems very very simply.
