There have been a few questions about scrolling, I suppose I'll answer
those here...

In a single window, you can do something like:
 $ ls -alF /usr/bin

You can then use shift-pageup to move up through the lengthy results.

Create a new window, with F2.  If you shift-pageup, you'll move through
the previous ls results.

It's important to understand that you have access to two separate
buffers...  That of gnome-terminal, and that of screen.

To scroll through gnome-terminal's buffer, you would use shift-
page(up/down), the scrollbars to the right, or the mouse-wheel.

To scroll through screen's buffer, you would hit F7 (to enter
copy/scrollback mode), and then maneuver using up/down/pageup/pagedown.
You hit escape to exit scrollback mode.

gnome-terminal has no knowledge of windows created within screen.
However, screen does.  So each window within screen has its own
scrollback, which can be viewed in scrollback mode (F7).
