I try to move with the VT100 keys here in GNU Screen:

$ screen
$ hello <left><left> ESC C ESC D

but "ESC D" deletes until the end of line and ESC C does nothing. Perhaps, I am not using right VT100 emulation. How can I test it and how can I get the ASCII codes working from commandline with Screen?
