Does screen have a scroll buffer?  I usually find that when I'm using 
screen, I can't get back to data that already scrolled off my screen.  
Shift-pageup doesn't seem to do the right thing.

Is there another command I should be using?  If not, then screen really 
doesn't cut it for me (might be fine for others though).
