Scrollback
----------

 - Command: defscrollback num
     (none)
     Same as the `scrollback' command except that the default setting
     for new windows is changed.  Defaults to 100.

 - Command: scrollback num
     (none)
     Set the size of the scrollback buffer for the current window to
     NUM lines.  The default scrollback is 100 lines.  Use `C-a i' to
     view the current setting.

 - Command: compacthist [state]
     (none)
     This tells screen weather to suppress trailing blank lines when
     scrolling up text into the history buffer. Turn compacting `on' to
     hold more useful lines in your scrollback buffer.
