I've recently gotten hooked on screen. I've used emacs a lot, especially to have multiple shells running in the same window, splitting windows and as a development IDE. But I like …

Read more of the screen manpage... try Ctrl-a Esc to enter scrollback/copy mode. Press Esc again to exit s/c mode. Now I just tested the above in Panther (10.3.5) and Terminal.app…

Yeah, I can do the scroll/copy mode thing, but it's just not what I'm looking for - it's modal, a bunch of extra awkward keystrokes, doesn't work with my scroll wheel, arrow/page k…

Screen rocks. Detaching and reattaching processes is the best idea ever for command line operating systems. I do have this problem too with screen and the scrollback buffer and i…

hi, had this problem a while ago (on the upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3), and i think the fix is the termcap. i have the terminal.app preference for "declare terminal type" set to "an…

Hmmm. Changing the term type to ansi helped a little bit, but it's still problematic. If I do a long listing in one virtual screen, scrollbar scrolling seems to work, at least at …

Taking a look through the screen manpage. Same info is here. You can establish a separate scrollback buffer for each virtual window created by using scrollback num . I've not exper…

hi JNI, i don't think that the scrollbar in terminal.app will ever only scroll through one screen session. that would entail apple interfacing with the screen programme, and payi…

When I go to college I'm torn whether I would want to get a Powermac or a Powerbook before I go. I've had a 12" PB for a year now and while it's been awesome taking it around, I wo…

Go for the PowerBook and AEx, and invest in a copy of OmniOutliner. The end result is quite possibly the best system ever for taking notes in class. This is what I did in college, …

First, I gotta know what college you're going to... Catholic college - you'll never leave the room, so G5. Party school - you'll need to hide the computer for parties and be able …

I'd suggest the PowerBook no matter what college you're going to attend. It gives you more possibilities e.g. writing a paper sitting outside under a tree or in the college library…

I'll be studying music at a liberal arts college. I know I'll be taking some general classes like writing and english and math, but do I really need to take notes in those classes?…

You probably won't, pen and paper usually work better (in my experience).

I my eyes - with top of the line Macs, portability is superior to power. The G5 will scream through everything you throw on it, whereas you can get the Powerbook to it's knees. B…

College is one of many places where the PowerBook will shine. 1) Take notes in class 2) Record lectures to MP3 3) Can take PowerBook home over breaks 4) Can hide PowerBook in lock…

Save your money and keep the 12" Powerbook for a few more years. Unless you are studying graphic design or film editting, it will more than meet all your needs. Don't get caught u…

Whoops, I seem to have missed that you already have a 12" PowerBook. In that case, I'll second what ort888 said. Save your money and keep your 12" PowerBook. Spend the money on a n…

Stick with the 12" for a few months and then make a decision. I know colleges in America are different, but here in the UK no-one takes laptops to lectures for notes (not in my cla…

Many people seem to say PowerBook, but I wouldn't be so fast. I am a college student with a PowerBook and I love it, but the reason I got one is because I live 15 minutes off campu…
