Why are they different?
They're different because they're separate developments, and it simply was a feature that wasn't incorporated into rxvt/Eterm/aterm or their obese cousin gnome-terminal (or its clone konsole). Making the normal+alternate screen shift together isn't necessarily an obvious thing to do. (Offhand I didn't recall if xterm did it - had to look). Linux console of course is completely separate. I don't know whether the shift-pageup was adapted from xterm or minicom or some other source (I've never seen a kernel changelog that could provide information like this ;-). Since it doesn't implement alternate screen, it's not the same case, anyway. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
