You're missing out. After (or maybe alongside) those two keys, I find the most useful ones are:
Ctrl-a c (to create a new terminal)
Ctrl-a 1 (to go to the first terminal)
Ctrl-a 2 (second, etc)
If you're an emacs user, you might also want to change the command key away from something as essential as the default bind for beginning-of-line. I myself use Ctrl-T. In .screenrc, that would be:
escape ^Tt
The screen manpage is also very good.

C-a C-a will swap the current and previous screen. C-a S splits the screen vertically C-a <tab> navigates to the next visible screen (there's no back-navigation). C-a q collapses all splits leaving the current screen visible. C-a d detaches from the screen session. There are some other features, but with these you're using much of the power of screen. Takes a few days to get used to, but it's one of those "how did I ever live without this" tools.
