prevent screen region clearing

Hey, is there any way to prevent screen from clearing a region when the
process exits?

I'd like to use `split -v`, with a shell on the left and some notes
on the right. If I C-a tab to switch to the empty region and `:screen
cat notes.txt`, the region is immediately cleared.

I could use less or whatever to keep the process alive - but that means
when my shell exits screen no longer exits - I would have to manually
quit less.

I know about the zombie command, but that's similar - I have to manually
tab to the region and exit when I'm done - I'd much prefer a way to just
not have the region cleared!

I thought maybe I could use a termcapinfo trick, like using `screen -T
special cat /proc/cpuinfo` and `termcapinfo special cs=` but that didn't
seem to work.

Tavis.
