Also, I must admit to being almost completely naive when it comes to
terminal settings. I just take what I'm given in most cases, but
this sounds atleast partially related to a pet peeve of mine. I use
screen, but text that is scrolled off is gone to me (although if I
maximize the window, I'll get some back). I'd like to be able to
scroll the terminal up to see what had passed, but I just see what
was there before I started screen.
screen's history doesn't show up in the terminal emulator's scrollback
because screen is using the alt-screen terminal capability. I think
the only way to make this work is to build your own screen that turns
that off, or hack your termcap/terminfo settings to turn off alt-
screen in your terminal emulator.
Terminal emulation is hard. It's a maze of twisty passages, all under-
specified.
