backlog in virtual console




just this week i re-found "my" long-lost feature - how to scroll back in 
virtual consoles on linux - don't laugh, i really missed this.

the solution is very simple - Shift+pageup to scroll back.

however, to my dissapointment, i found that (at least it seemed that) if 
you switch to another VC, the 'history' is lost. also, some programs 
(probably all the programs that change keyboard mapping) cause this 
feature not to work (kermit, irc, perhaps others too).

just sharing this with the gang,

guy
