Using Screen command/feature. How to fix windows scrolling


Hi,

I'm using the screen command quite often.
It's really great btw. :-)
I'm trying to figure out how it's possible to fix so that scrolling of text works.

Example:
I ssh somewhere if I work here ls or more huge text file then I can easy have x=100 or even 1000 lines.
Here it's possible to scroll up and down in the window to se text etc..

Then I start screen cmd...
then I only have that amount of screen hight and width of the original screen visible from the first window when I started the screen function.

How do one configure so that it is possible to scroll indefinite
if I for instance do a more command on a text file with some 1000 lines?

I really appreciate help.

Thanks in advance.

BR

Instead, press ctrl+a [ then use page up/page down to scroll through the output. hit enter a few times to exit (this is actually copy mode).
