Hi, I am looking for a program that saves n number of screens so that I can scroll back through them again later, if I want to. I looked at backscrl.com but this seems to conflict with my version of desqview and terminal emulator. If anybody knows of one please mail me. Thanks in advance.

There is no charge for this program to the individual user. I had been looking for a PD or Free package to do screen scroll recall and had totally overlooked this PCMAG utility. I think I tried it once before and had concluded that it did not work on my Extended 101 keyboard. A tip: When the documentation talks about using the cursor keys, USE THE CURSOR KEYS ON THE NUMERIC KEYPAD. Evidently, the keyscan codes are different for the Extended Keyboard's cluster of Cursor keys not on the numeric keypad. Also, use the numeric keypad's Page keys -- not the Extended Page keys. It would be nice to modify this utility to play more smoothly with the Extended keyboard. Does someone know where I can get the source for this PCMAG WAITASEC screen scroll recall program?
