While in scroll-back mode (the control+A left-sq-bracket) mode,
press the letter "a".
The man-page on screen details a lot more of the scroll-back
capabilities in the section on "copy". If "less" is your
man-pager, you can use
/^\s*copy$
to search for start of the section in the man-page. There are a
lot of other features such as controlling line-joining, copying
various-shaped blocks (rectangular, character-wise and
line-wise), showing line-numbers, append-mode, writing to the
"screen-exchange" file, and swapping which end-point the cursor
is on. I don't use most of them, but it's helpful to know
they're there.
