Compass style sheet question

Looking to build out a website using Compass. I went through the Compass course, and I understand it for the most part.

However, how do you guys lay out all your CSS style sheets? I see there is a CSS folder and Sass folder and they each contain a print styles heet and a screen style sheet.

Is the screen style sheet the main style sheet? or should I just go about making my own style sheets and importing them.

Treehouse does a good job at explaining things but I'd like to get a firm handle on the very very basics first :)

Print style sheets are generally set up to only be used when a user is printing a web page. It will generally strip out complicated parts of a page or make things fit better for 8.5x11 paper, etc.. So the 'screen' style sheet is where you want to set up all your styles that are meant to be seen on the web.

Hope that helps clear it up!
