Is there a way to move windows between different screen sessions?

For example lets say I have this scenario:

screen -S screen1
vim *.cpp
C-a d
screen -S screen2

Is there any way to move my shell containing my vim session from screen1 to screen2?

Trouble is, this interferes with the Line Editing feature in Bash (and GNU Readline), because Control-A in Bash… >>> More

After reading the vague official doc of GNU screen( http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html ) and asking quite some questions at this site.
