I don't have a man page for "screen". |

|
25 |
I do know `man less`, `man more`, etc., and output redirection to file. |
26 |
Heck, I'm even old enough to know Ctl+S and Ctl+Q, as I used to |
27 |
program PDP-11s back in the 1970s. But none of those addresses the |
28 |
fundamental issue of sitting there watching all this crap. Hence I |
29 |
normally use fcron or at to run my emerge jobs in the background, which, |
30 |
as a fringe benefit, gives me easily scrollable output in my MUA. |
