[unix-pc.general] scrolling screen on unixpc*

mark@mkvpc.UUCP (mark varnell) (08/02/89)

Is anyone aware of a way to scroll forwards or backwards when
viewing text on the unixpc display? For example, lets say you do
a directory listing and part of the output scrolls off the top of the
screen. It would be nice to be able to scroll the the lost information
down onto the screen without having to repeating the 'ls' command.

This is one I'd like to know too.  I drives my crazy not to be able
to backtrack.  

I do know that if I'm cu'd to another machine, *sometimes* the PREV and
NEXT buttons work, but that's not even consistent.  If someone has a
solution, please post it to the net!
