:I occasionally find the scroll back buffer (which I have set to 1000
:lines) a real life saver.  When I used to use xterm I had logging to
:file turned on (with ageing of the files) and that, occasionally, was
:an even greater life saver!  :-)
:There is one problem with rxvt's scroll back buffer though, I think.
:It doesn't seem to save *everything* you do like the xterm log file
:used to.

The scrollback buffer only contains the lines that were scrolled off
the screen (when in the primary screen).  Currently logging as done
in xterm is not implemented in rxvt.  Several programs work in the
secondary screen and their output won't be recorded.  Also programs
which manipulate the cursor position may not have all their output
recorded.  It's not really a big task to implement that functionality,
just that it hasn't been done _yet_.
