Amit,

There are at least three ways to do this. I'm going to use META to mean
CTRL-a or whatever your "screen key" is.

1. META-" will give you a graphical list of your windows that you can
scroll around in.

2. META-' will give you a prompt to type a screen number. If you know
the number of the screen (e.g. 13) you could just type it here.

3. META-n (or META-p) will move to the next (or previous) window. For
example, if from window 9 you hit META-n you'll now be on window 10.

Make sure to read the screen manual--these (and lots of other useful
screen commands) can be found there. It's a bit dense but worth the
read.
