The best reference I know is the (TeX)info pages that come with screen.
Run "info screen" to read it.

Quick start: ^A (Control+A) is the escape character. Hit it, then

   c ==> create a new window
   n ==> next window
   p ==> previous window
  ^A ==> goto second-last window
   w ==> list windows
