How do you set copy mode from your screenrc?

Question

I want to enter copy-mode by default from screen. Right now, I'm using stuff to start a server. I'd like to then enter copy-mode so I can just use the mouse to scroll up.

I can't just use stuff "Ctrl-a ESC" (even though Ctrl-a ESC entered from the terminal sets screen mode just fine).

Is there a special character for Ctrl-a that I can stuff? (like ^M for a return)

The command I needed was... copy.
