I wrote this little wrapper script I call ost:
<<<
#!/bin/sh
export ST_LOG_FILE=$(mktemp) || { printf '%s\n' "$0: cannot create temp file"
>&2 ; exit 1; }
st -o "$ST_LOG_FILE" "$@"
rm "$ST_LOG_FILE"
>>>If some output scrolls past that I want to go back and see, I look at its "$ST_LOG_FILE" in another terminal. This seems to obviate my need for a scrollback patch or program.
