I rather want persistent logs. And I want it implicit. Sometimes I realize, oh dang, what was printed before and then it's too late already to launch less ;) Actually this is the main reason for a scrollback buffer IMO, it'll be only used if you forgot to pipe the output somewhere... Back in the older days, I actually intended towards a totally different st design as it is today. Originally it was planned to define a new client/server model, where st would've been just a client with an own formatting language to a st server. The st server was intended to provide full persistent logging and filter programs for the different terms that it would have translated into the st formatting instead. Nowadays st is just a simpler terminal ;) -Anselm
