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

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

Even if you turn off alt-screen (which I do, as I detest it) you won't
have scrollback: it's because it uses (n)curses to do updates, and
curses is scrollback-unfriendly, doing things like using insert/delete
line to scroll.
That said, you can easily get at scrollback in a screen session: look
up "copy mode" in the manual. This is kept per "window".
