I am connecting to a Linux system via PuTTY. I am using GNU screen.
Once I input a command on the screen, I am unable to create a new one or do anything else until this command gets completed. I have a feeling I am going about this all wrong.
When it says Ctrl + A, C, what does this mean? How do I get those keys listed on How To Use Linux Screen?
I am currently having to create multiple sessions of PuTTY.

Ctrl-a + r: It reattach a detached screen session.
Leaving Screen Terminal Session There are 2 (two) ways to leaving the screen. First, we are using “Ctrl-A” and “d” to detach the screen. Second, we can use the exit command to terminating the screen. You also can use “Ctrl-A” and “K” to kill the screen.
Once you have executed the command screen you're now in a screen session. You can create new windows (think of them like tabs) and switch between them. To create a window, you use the command Ctrl-a c. This means:
This should create a new window in the screen session (you now have two).
To switch between windows you, again, use the Ctrl-a command followed by the number of the window you'd like to switch to. E.g., Ctrl-a 0 will take you home.
Ctrl-a " will list the windows you have active.
Ctrl-a k closes the current active window.
Ctrl-a d "Detaches" the screen session, you are moved back to the terminal where you invoked screen. Your screen session is still running in a background process, to return to it use Ctrl-a x.
