List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Shift-pageup and shift-pagedown activate the scrollback feature in Linux but it doesn.t work with speakup to my knowledge. I use screen for this with the control-leftbracket keystroke and scroll back that way. To make a command show usage and page the result do this: ls --help 2>&1|less the 2>&1 redirects standard error to standard output so you can page the result through a pager. regards, Kerry.

And it scrolls to the next screen. Is there a way to be able to look at the previous screen? Like does the screen or the operating system keep a temporary buffer of the previous screen until refreshed by another shell command? What I'm refering to is something similar to a scroll back buffer that I believe used to exist in Dos. Does such a thing exist under Linux? I thought I read in some howto that the keystroke for this was alt+backspace or something?
