Ping? Any ideas about this #3 issue, which is the most important one for
me? Thanks in advance.

> 3. Losing scrollback with Ctrl-L.

> If I type Ctrl-L to clear the screen (or run `clear`), the lines that
> were visible in the screen prior to clearing are not added to the
> scrollback buffer, i.e. they are lost. This can be checked by running:

>     % yes hello | head -n $LINES; yes bye | head -n $LINES; clear

> If you then scroll back, you will see no more than one "bye".
