screen history

Ahh grasshopper... You are trying to view screen's history from the terminal. This is impossible. You should instead view screen's history with screen itself. It does keep history.

The way I generally do it is to go into "copy mode" ^A[ and scroll up (page up works too) from there. Enter twice to leave copy mode.

I'm sure there's a better way to do it but that's what I've always done.

OMG that is so SO cool. I couldn't be happier to be proven wrong!

Hats off to you and macosxhints.com (which, have you noticed, comes up rather a lot in random unix searches..?)

best and happy ^A[-ing,
David
