It's based on Emacs keystroke notation conventions. Read it thus: Hold down control and simultaneously press and release a, then release control, then hold down shift and simultaenously press and release s, then release shift. BTW I find Ctrl-z much more convenient for screen, since Ctrl-a is a common Emacs and nano command (go to start of line), and I need a "real" Ctrl-z pretty infrequently (it's now on Ctrl-z a). I also have my login shell scripted such that it detects when I'm reconnecting over ssh to a screen session from a terminal which is itself running a (different host) screen session. The "inferior" screen session is then reconfigured to use a different keystroke (Ctrl-j for the first level of nesting, Ctrl-\ for the second).
