Also: you can name your sessions with ctrl-A shift-A.
Then, Ctrl-A " (double-quote) gives you a list, which you can navigate with
j (down) and k (up) or possibly with arrow keys (seems to work on some
terminals).

AND (which I just discovered this afternoon) you can go to the
first-matching session name with ctrl-A 'name
(where name is the entire screen name, or just a unique portion).

Finally, you can also have xterm display the screen title in the tab-bar,
with nothing more than a line in your .screenrc (while the below is a bash
prompt howto, it seems to work for tcsh also):

Screen is definitely keen.
