--- Begin Message ---Package: screen Version: 4.0.3 To reproduce: 1. Start an xterm 2. Use some command to generate a few screenfuls of output (say, ls -l on some larger directory like /usr/lib) 3. Start screen (4. Execute uname -a, for example) 5. Execute some command that outputs 1-2 screenfuls 6. Hit Shift-PgUp, and observe that there is NO way with S-PgUp to get at the output previous to the currently visible lines. (In example: the uname output). Culprit is this line in /etc/screenrc: # The vt100 description does not mention "dl". *sigh* termcapinfo vt100 dl=5\E[M Commenting it out fixes the problem. Which brings me to the point - why _was_ this added, anyway?
